1. A computer-implemented method for generating designs for multi-family housing projects via a computer-aided design (CAD) application, the method comprising:
generating, via a feature extractor included in the CAD application, a set of features based on a geometric analysis of a plurality of historical designs;
generating, via a feature parameterizer included in the CAD application, a set of parametric values based on a parameterization of the set of features;
determining, via a parametric correlator included in the CAD application:
a first correlation between a first subset of parametric values and a second subset of parametric values included in the set of parametric values, and
a second correlation based on at least a third subset of parametric values included in the set of parametric values;
determining, via a trend aggregator included in the CAD application, that the first correlation corresponds to the second correlation;
in response, generating, via the trend aggregator, a first design trend based on the first correlation and the second correlation; and
generating a first design option based on the first design trend.
