What will attendees learn
In this workshop, you learn how to use Grasshopper3d to generate an initial geometry in Rhino3D. Then using Ladybug Tools _The most famous environmental analysis used in Rhino3d used by many huge companies _ you will learn how to calculate energy consumption, thermal indoor comfort, and sky view percentage. Based on these criteria as the main objectives you will learn how to use wallacei X, an important optimization plug-in in grasshopper to generate different form alternatives in the early design stage and optimize the form of the building.
