THE MASTERCLASS COVERS ......
ANALYSE YOUR SITE AND MASSING
Learn how to download real-world weather files from global locations and use them to analyze your site conditions and initial massing. Understand how climate data impacts factors like sunlight, shading, wind, and energy performance, helping you make smarter, more informed design decisions from the very start.
GENERATE ADAPTIVE FACADE
Learn how to script your own adaptive façade that dynamically responds to real-world environmental data. Develop unique yet highly performance-driven designs that intelligently control solar gain, improving comfort and energy efficiency.
QUANTIFY YOUR DESIGN
After creating your own adaptive façade, take the next step by quantifying exactly how it performs.
Measure key performance metrics like solar gain, daylight levels, and energy impact using real-world environmental data.
OPTIMIZE YOUR DESIGN FOR MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE
Learn how to refine and optimize your design through a feedback loop.
Use data-driven insights to iterate and improve your façade, enhancing efficiency, comfort, and environmental responsiveness.
