WORKSHOPS OVERVIEW | DETAILS BELOW
Title | Image | Course Duration | Short Course Description | InPerson or Virtual |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Parametric LCA and ESG assessments and visual communications | Morning Session | We will explore and create parametric LCA and ESG assessments using the opensource Buildings and Habitats Object Model (BHoM) to define and review performative outcomes that introduce both quantitative and qualitative decision-making processes at early-stage design. | Virtual | |
Computational Design-Drafting in Rhino 8 | Morning Session | Rhino 8 enables new workflows through key enhancements. In this hands-on session, we'll explore major features in Rhino 8 with a focus on the latest computational design and drafting tools now available in Grasshopper Version 1. We'll see how these new Grasshopper components can improve design and modeling workflows in Rhino. | In Person | |
Omniverse: Design Collaboration Accelerated | Afternoon Session | NVIDIA Omniverse™ is a computing platform that enables individuals and teams to develop Universal Scene Description (OpenUSD)-based 3D workflows and applications. | Hybrid | |
GIS for Urban Planning and Design | Morning Session | This workshop will introduce participants to core workflows of urban planning and design that
leverage GIS for processes such as: 3D site context creation, unpacking existing patterns and insights, zoning, land use and proposed massing configuration, scenario comparison and impact assessment, and community engagement. | In Person | |
Becoming AI Power-Users: A Hands-on Workshop on Machine Learning and Generative AI | Full Day | Machine learning is advancing at an unparalleled rate, marked by the extraordinary accomplishments of recent Generative AI models over the past two years. This workshop aims to equip attendees with the vital tools and foundational skills necessary to transcend the role of mere users and enable them to develop, tailor, and implement AI assistants within their future Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) workflows. | In Person | |
Preventing Thermal Heat Stress: Creating Resilient Projects with Future Climate Data and AI Analysis | Afternoon Session | This workshop is an exclusive exploration of our latest development before it hits the market: the addition of future climate data in our outdoor thermal comfort simulations | In Person | |
Extracting Valid Analytical Models using Pollination Revit Plugin | Morning Session | In this workshop, the audience will be introduced to the latest updates of the Pollination Revit plugin (https://www.pollination.cloud/revit-plugin) for extracting valid analytical models from Revit for energy, daylight, and comfort simulation. | Virtual | |
Pollination Rhino Workflows for Building Performance Specialists | Afternoon Session | In this workshop, participants will learn a range of workflows with the Pollination Rhino Plugin (https://www.pollination.cloud/rhino-plugin) that automate the geometry cleanup process and eliminate the need to manually re-trace or rebuild the design geometry to create clean analytical models. | Virtual |
