## About this course

In the "Environment-Reactive Computation (with Ladybug)" workshop, we'll learn how to create sustainable designs using infinitely scalable methods.

## What you'll learn

- Teach the basics of Ladybug and dive better into list structure. 

- With the basics of list structure, the goal is that participants can take these techniques and apply them to real-world projects.

- Create a distinctive and customized design that stands out.

- Students will learn more about the mathematics behind some of these concepts, like the sigmoid function, and understand the power of Grasshopper.

- The future of architecture is sustainable design; techniques to simulate the environment computationally will only become more democratized.

- This workshop will teach attendees how to use and integrate these tools creatively with other parametric design tools.

## Requirements

- Suggested/Extras:







- Mesh+ Plugin – Useful for manipulating meshes.

- Lumion – Student and Faculty version is free, with a 14-day free trial.
