Welcome to Our Asia Portal
Digital Design Solutions LLC is a limited liability company (LLC) registered in North Dakota, USA, created to provide digital design solutions to a wide range of design professionals. The business will develop high quality, special purpose digital solutions for design professionals such as architects, interior designers, landscape architects and urban planners, using a wide range of digital technologies. These solutions include freestanding software modules, modules for existing software, turnkey services, and training in the use of digital technologies. Our main customers are architects, who will be targeted with the launch of our major product, the Auditorium Design System.
Our plan is to go global in our product offerings.
We Believe
Our goal is to satisfy our customers by creating reliable and robust software products that can deliver high quality design components in a digital format reflecting our motto, on demand design.
We will be committed to addressing our customers’ needs and satisfy them for the lifetime of our products.
Our
raison d’être
is to provide high quality design solutions for design professionals in an effective manner at significantly reduced costs compared to what it would cost them to arrive at those solutions through traditional means.
Our Customer
Our customer is a very busy design professional who is working on multiple design projects at the same time that have diverse performance criteria. Time is a precious resource for this customer as is the careful attention to multiple design criteria in the creation of design components in a digital format.
Our customer needs to be able to generate various design components based on different design criteria preferably in an already optimized form and in a digital format.
Our software products will generate these high-quality design components in a digital format for this very demanding customer.
Our Products
Our main customers are architects, who will be targeted with the launch of our major product, the
Auditorium Design System.
An Android app called
Energy Cost Calculator, to determine the energy costs of simple buildings, has been launched on Google Play on June 21, 2015 (Father's Day). The
Auditorium Design System
Android app was launched on December 30, 2015. The Windows versions of the Auditorium Design System and the Rectangular Auditorium Design System were launched on July 4, 2017. The launches commemorate the memory of Mr. G. Mahalingam, a noted technologist in the field of coated abrasives in India, who is the father of the founder of Digital Design Solutions.

Ganapathy Mahalingam, Ph.D. Founder, Digital Design Solutions LLC
Ganapathy Mahalingam is a well-established researcher in the field of computer-aided architectural design. His research focuses on using computer technology for the process of architectural design. Professor Mahalingam holds a Ph.D. in Architecture, which he earned at the University of Florida in 1995. For his doctoral dissertation, Dr. Mahalingam developed a computer-based design system for the design of proscenium-type auditoriums.
View Profile
Created using the Smalltalk programming language and the VisualWorks software development environment, the Auditorium Design System represents the successful characterization of the process of designing the spatial enclosure of an auditorium as an algorithm. A pioneering implementation of object-oriented computing in architectural design, the Algorithmic Auditorium project continues to explore and explicate the computability of design.
Dr. Mahalingam is now exploring well-defined methodologies to discover computational structures in Architecture, to model buildings as networks (especially as energy networks), to model sensor and actuator networks for environmental control in buildings, and to articulate an architectural programming language.
Dr. Mahalingam served as the President of the Association for Computer-Aided Design In Architecture (ACADIA) from 2001 to 2003. ACADIA is the premier organization in the United States for educators, researchers and practitioners in the field of computer-aided design in architecture. In 2009, Dr. Mahalingam founded Digital Design Solutions LLC, a software company in the state of North Dakota to create software products for the design professions.
Dr. Mahalingam served as the Interim Chair of the Department of Architecture and Landscape Architecture at NDSU from 2008 to 2012, and as the Architecture Program Director from 2002 to 2008. Having been on the faculty at NDSU for 29 years, Dr. Mahalingam brings a wealth of knowledge and skills to the aspiring students of Architecture at NDSU. He teaches the Design Thesis Studio, the Advanced Architectural Design Studio, a lecture course on Thesis Research, and a seminar on the Architecture of India.
