SUMMARY:High-Throughput Computing (HTC) for Parametric Exploration by 
 SOM Sebastian Claussnitzer, Neil Katz, Matthew Shaxted, Sejung Kat Par
 k, Robert Yori
DESCRIPTION:Parametric thinking and generating an appropriate design s
 olution space with a large set of design parameters have become the no
 rm in our generation, especially for the caliber and scale of designs 
 we produce in advanced practice. What has also become a necessity toda
 y is the designer’s understanding of energy usage and environmental 
 impact of their proposed designs early on, during the initial stages o
 f parametric exploration. Inevitably, we have been defining the limits
  of our explorations (number of parameters, scale of parameters or the
  resolution of testing model) within the scope of computation power of
  our machines or analysis tools of our choice. This workshop will teac
 h and enable participants to utilize distributed computing protocols a
 s a generative design driver for creating and subsequently evaluating 
 large catalogues of building design options. Compared to current deskt
 op approach, optioneering at this scale and speed will allow designers
  to exhaustively model the solution space for design problems, as well
  as gain a deeper understanding of the range of implications associate
 d with any modelled/simulated solution. A relative absence of advance
 d decision-making processes limits the number of building-design optio
 ns that designers can examine for energy efficiency. Large design spac
 es and limited computational resources have encouraged designers to re
 ly on optimization techniques. Optimization alone may expose optimally
  performing design, however, may fail to unearth a large part of a sol
 ution which can be uncovered by a wider search through this space. Exp
 osing these solutions allows a designer to evaluate trade-offs among t
 he various dimensions of governing factors such as energy-optimal desi
 gn, adherence to conceptual idea, or visual ethos. With the rapid decr
 ease of computing cost and easily accessible parallel computing techno
 logies we are proposing a new paradigm for design explorations: Using 
 parallel computing to create exhaustive option catalogues for decision
  making in the design process. Those options can then be searched and 
 graphed against many types of criteria, both quantitative and qualitat
 ive. Participants are expected to have knowledge of the following con
 cepts and software applications: Rhino & Grasshopper Conceptual know
 ledge of Energy Modeling Excel Basic programming skills Preferred b
 ut not necessary: Knowledge of energy modeling software, preferably E
 nergy Plus Tableau R Radiance\n\nFor more information visit https:/
