algorithmic modeling for Rhino

The team implemented Parametric Design tools to achieve optimum lighting conditions for the entrance/yard of the Fabrication LAB of the Architecture department [ARC] of the University of Nicosia. The group proposed a canopy that works as a regulating membrane, permitting or restricting light wherever necessary. The team constructed a parametric model which enabled modifying the geometry and perforations of the canopy while simultaneously monitoring and calculating the resulting daylight factor and illumination values. As a final addition to the parametric definition, a genetic algorithm was implemented to iterate between all possible design solutions and determine which canopy provides the optimal daylight conditions for the space under study.
