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