“Generative tools for bioclimatic architecture” // Collaboration with Hogeschool Rotterdam
Scope:
To develop a parametric tool between Grasshopper and Ecotect, this will create & modify the geometries of a builing. Bidirectional integration between Grasshopper & Ecotect, based on enviromental data.
This workshop concludes the line of investigation: "Generative tools for bioclimatic architecture" for the wider "OR/gan research" programme.
Specific goals
To understand the generative design philosophy & oriented objects programming (OOP )
Tu understand Grasshopper logic.
To develop one generative tool for building design that contains parameters for sustainability.
Minimum 5 people, Maximum 16 people
Workshop duration: 25 hrs
Focus:
Architects, industrial designers, urbanists, interior designers, environmental engineers.
Work flow:
Monday 21 may: 10 - 15 hrs
1) The theoretical explanation of OOP & generative design, come together through this design project.
2) Technical explanation of Grasshopper
3) Conceptual development of the project, based in a mind-map and divided into: Actors, processes & relations
Tuesday 22 & wednesday 23 may: 10 - 15 hrs
4) Development of a Generative Tool in Grasshopper
Thursday 24 may: 10 - 15 hrs
5) To modify geometries through environmental data: Grasshopper + ECOTECT
Friday 25 may: 10 - 15 hrs
6) To generate a presentation (images & video)
Tools to use:
Conceptualizationn: Mind42
Creation: Grasshopper + ECOTECT + Geco
Presentation: Ilustrator + Video
