Monday was the first day of the Integrated Design + Fabrication workshop at Izmir University of Economics Dept. of Architecture
our beautiful group!
After introducing the aims and objectives for the week ahead, Elcin and Mostapha introduced performance-based criteria for facade design and the typologies of responses to the performance criteria. (they have chosen radiation, daylight, glare, and expression)
The students then worked through basic concepts and techniques for modeling a rotating vertical shading device using grasshopper.
We are looking forward to another great day, Tuesday, when we begin to get our feet wet with Ladybug analysis!
