We present a general and flexible approximation model for near real-time prediction of steady turbulent flow in a 3D domain based on residual Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs). This approach can provide immediate feedback for real-time iterations at the early stage of architectural design. This work-flow is then reversed and offers a designer a tool that generates building volumes based on target wind flow.
