Dive Brief:

• A computer process devised by the design firm NBBJ lets architects step inside the space they are designing to check out what the views would be from every seat they might create.
• The process is called computational design, and it's intended to help architects give every person in a facility the best views possible, given that not everyone can have a corner office.
• NBBJ calls itself "a different kind of design practice" that focuses on devising spaces that "free" people.
