This month's meeting is brought to you by the node "Adaptive Component" presented by: Arman Hadilou, SCB Architects
Feature Presentation: Evaluating and Testing Design Strategies with Dynamo
Speakers:
Glenn Katz, Stanford University
Rommy Joyce, Bearington Studios
This Presentation will present diverse applications of Dynamo, a visual programming interface for Revit, demonstrating how students and researchers at Stanford are using it in innovative ways in their project work. Examples will include using Dynamo to:
- Generate and analyze alternative site layouts and building massing schemes to test and evaluate the effectiveness of proposed urban planning strategies. This project illustrates a modular approach to building a robust system that allows researchers to easily replace or add new nodes to implement and test richer and more nuanced planning schemes and options.
- Rapidly generate and evaluate parametrically-driven building forms, comparing design alternatives based on many criteria including their solar potential, predicted energy performance, and programmatic as well as economic measures. This project illustrates how Dynamo can automate the evaluation of design strategies using advanced analysis tools and extensions available within Revit.
