About this episode
In this episode, we invite Tore Banke, the director of sustainability and head of computational design at BIG. He joined BIG in 2014 as a Computational Design Specialist in building performance simulation. Tore’s vast experience in parametric software development allows him to customize digital toolsets and workflows in BIGs projects. Tore’s knowledge enables architects and designers to integrate building performance into their concept design and handle design problems and geometries of great complexity. Tore has performed a wide range of building simulations, e.g., energy-, solar radiation-, wind-, daylight-, and artificial lighting simulations on several BIG's key projects.
