Om emnet
The ACDL studio is part of a series running since 2014, placing a strong emphasis on computational tools as part of the design process and communication of ideas. The studio is research and practice based, with an experimental approach to environmentally-conscious architectural design, design processes and methodologies.
Assignment for the spring studio: an off-grid cabin complex in extreme climate conditions on the west coast of Norway.
Central themes for the spring studio will be performance oriented; site specific climate analysis as part of the research and basis for design, - and various simulations to analyze and optimize design for solar access, daylight factors and wind performance as part of the architectural design process.
Associative computational modeling will be introduced, and used in an iterative manner incorporating design generation and analysis to refine the associative model that defines spatial organization, required building program and activity distribution.
Keywords: Solar radiation, Energy analysis, Daylight analysis, Outdoor Comfort, Airflow analysis, Visibility analysis, Water run-off, Real-time rendering.
