## FAQ

### What software and plugins will I use in this workshop?
You will use Rhinoceros 3D and Grasshopper 3D, along with plugins including Pufferfish, Lunchbox, Human, Ladybug, and eleFront.

### What specific architectural application is the focus of this workshop?
The workshop focuses specifically on creating context-driven, modular facade designs that respond to environmental and geometric conditions.

### How are climate and context incorporated into the facade design process?
You will use integrated analysis tools like Ladybug to perform climate assessments and inform specific geometric and material decisions for the facade.

### What design control and optimization workflows will be covered for downstream development?
You will explore modular replication, material transformations, and data management processes designed to maintain control across construction and assembly phases.
