Acoustic Exposure Study
Attribute Studies
Mapping out attributes into a 3D model is the first step to solving architecture in a multi-dimensional space.
Analyses such as yearly solar radiation, visibility and view, acoustic exposure, proximity to pedestrians and occupants, etc. can be very insigntful on their own.
But when we can combine studies and write scipts that can respond intelligently to these studies is when design starts to evolve and respond to external stimuli.
Analysis Driving Facades
A combination of analyses can drive the application of modular systems like the one to the right. This one is showing a simple solar study driving the selection, but a view study and a simple wieght for height could be used to increase the glazing as the view out becomes more interesting and is more valuable than the effect of shading.
Modular Pallet
Creating a set of modules limits the possible variations, making the design more fabrication-friendly.
Facade Analyses & Combination Studies
The analysis to the right correlates to the average visibility of the facade: the blue dots show the sample points, distributed around areas of circulation or dense population.
This in combination with a pedestrian/occupant proximity study could drive a script to optimize the distribution of higher value finishes on various points on the facade.
