The example was done a while ago. So the file is not working with the current grasshopper version anymore. I suggest to look at uto's Geco plugin, where you are able to import/export grasshopper geometry directly into ecotect.

 

Best,

Hi Florian, 

 

It is a great job, I am going to do something similar to that for my research project, could you please send me your file and tell me more about how you have done that.

 

Thanks,

Hi hotsizzle.

I was thinking of a design hierarchy when I set up the system. Those are global geometry, local geometry and material. The global geometry should be influenced by programmatic, functional and structural aspects. Meaning one is free to chosse what would have a larger impact, thinking here about oscilating between formgiving and formfinding. The local geometry which is made up by the components/openings is informed by shading (sunlight) and daylighting aspects. This can be done again by design-programtic decissions, what requirements does a building have. The material aspect is then related to the properties be it structural or thermal and influences the jointing geometry and thickness. None the less can this 3 aspects not be seen seperated since all those decission have an impact on each other. To answer your question: The shape is not determined directly by the ecotect analysis but if a certain lighting outcome is not desired one would have a couple of strategies to optimize that. Being it altering the global shape or changing the orientation and size of the openings itself by the graph surfaces. This sets an iterative process in motion between generating the geometry and evaluating it through various softwares. Obviously would it be great to be able to do that in a more embedded way rather than baking the geometry, exporting it etc. If you would like to look more at the aspects of how much energy a surface receives and develop here a design strategy, you might want to look at the work of atelier nGai.

hi flo can you explain what u did?i'm interested in and i wonder
if the analysis on ecotec helped designing the form

thanks
