Computational environmental design using Ladybug Tools

Part 01 - Environmental Site analysis using Ladybug tools with Rhinoceros 3D and Grasshopper 3D
What you'll learn
You will learn how to obtain climate data of the site and analyze it
You will learn how to think about the building concept
You will learn how to Decide the building form & orientation
you will have some thoughts about building material & passive techniques that will be used in the building design
Requirements
No prerequisites for taking this course
Description
The parametric and generative designing tools changed the view of the pro-environmental dimension of today's architecture. When adopting CAD/CAM technological solutions the architects re-solve the relation between the form of buildings, materials used, energy management systems and pro-environmental properties. The synergy of the latest technologies with natural, traditional and environment-friendly solutions has gained unprecedented recognition. Environmental objectives are effectively implemented at an increasing scale. Environmental construction supported by the latest digital technologies may soon constitute a bridge between huge urban structures and the natural environment, satisfying the needs of both sides. Parametric design methods allow you to very quickly generate dozens of variations on a project problem, keeping imposed by the investor environmental standards." Marcin Giedrowicz " Parametric Design for Ecological Purposes
