ARCH 655 Project2
Taichung Metropolitan Opera House - Optimization of the building shape based on radiation analysis - In Project 2, I utilized Ladybug and Galapagos, the former one is for radiation analysis and the latter one is for genetic algorithm. These tools optimize the building shape so that occupants can get maximum radiation. I simplified the building model and assumed that curvy walls consist of the whole building and the shape is covered with one big glass box. Sun path 1) Find weather data URL from Ladybug epwmap and put it in "Panel" in Grasshopper 2) From the epw data, we can get the exact annual sun path on the site, Taichung, Taiwan Optimization of the building shape 1) To optimize the shape of the curvy walls, I chose three layers of Voronoi curves and got two layers of lofted curvy walls. ( Please look over Project 1 page for the process of producing Vor
