09:30-17:00 Workshop (1)

Content of the workshop (1) (Delft group)
Performance driven digital design: tools, techniques and methods with focus on parametric design.
Towards performance-based design using parametric modeling

Dr. Ir. Michael Bittermann, Arch. Michela Turrin, Arch. Ioannis Chatzikonstantinou

In order to reach architectural designs with a high performance, that is, designs that greatly satisfy the design requirements, many design alternatives and variations should be explored. Usually, the extent in which generation and evaluation of alternatives is exercised is limited mainly due to time restrictions imposed on the process. Parametric design allows for rapid generation of design variations, which are visualized by means 3D models and, even more importantly, subject to numerical analysis in order to evaluate the performance.

To get experience using this potential, the workshop introduces parametric modeling for performance-driven design. A preliminary introduction to parametric modeling and parameterization approaches in the software GrasshopperTM will be given. Exercises are set in order to guide the participants along two progressive steps. The first step concerns parametric geometry generation; the second one concerns measurement of quantities relevant for performance evaluation. As an exemplary case a residential mid-rise building is taken. As first step during the workshop exercise its overall shape, floors, and a few main building elements will be parametrically modeled. Then its facade will be parametrically modeled as well, and connected to the existing geometry, so that further level of building detail is achieved. Individual workshop participants may experiment with different topologies in this step. Finally several relevant quantities pertaining to the evaluation of the feasibility and performance of the building will be obtained. These include floor surface amount, building volume, size of facade surface, etc. The resulting parametric designs made by the participants will be presented at the end of the workshop followed by a discussion and conclusion.
