Introduction of the workshop:

This workshop will guide designers through the process of creating iconic and buildable, energy-efficient architectures, aiming to achieve Operational Net Zero status to reduce their impact on Climate Change.

We will focus on studying a new workflow that merges free-form geometry modeling, parametric design, and environmental analysis to enhance the passive behavior of a building geometry while integrating renewables on-site. This workshop will equip designers with a radical new way of creating free-form geometry buildings to define the next generation of iconic, carbon-neutral architectures, with the vision of helping to reduce the associated carbon emissions of the construction sector.

What You’ll Learn?

Understand the basics of environmental data-driven geometries and Operational Net Zero architectural design.
Forecast the impact of geometrical designs on operational energy performance.
Be capable of designing a real-world project at the proof-of-concept level, where environmental analysis is used to inform architectural decision-making.

Methodology:

During this workshop, we will follow three methodologies to achieve our concept design:

  • A) Free-form geometry modeling is the process of sculpting a model with digital clay using the latest version of Sub D for rhinos. With this, we will create a basic mass that will be the base for our building.
  • B) Parametric 3D modeling: Once the massing is defined, we will use scripting to create details and shading structures in our building façade, driven by solar dynamics. This will ensure we can control solar overexposure in the glazed areas and passively reduce the need for Air conditioning.
  • C) Environmental analysis: The Ladybug and Honeybee grasshopper plugins will help us create a simple feedback look that will help us evaluate the performance of our building proposal and define opportunities for optimization and improvement.

The Scope would be to create a climate-conscious design, Creating mixed-used buildings with the potential to achieve Net Zero Operational Energy, using Sub-D and computational design tools in grasshopper 3D. Linking Solar analysis and energy modeling with honeybee tools would create a geometrical solution to produce its own energy directly from integrated solar photovoltaic panels.
