Students are required to have a look of SYLLABUS and SCHEDULE located in the side sections.
Students are also strongly required to read the following selected readings to have a better comprehension of the design philosophy and to acquire a theoretical foundation,
• G. Ridolfi, A. Saberi, Computational Intelligences in the Post Environmental Design. Examples from Mailab [LINK] [ALT LINK]
• G. Ridolfi, A. Saberi, Learning Design through Designerly Thinking. [LINK] [ALT.LINK] [VIDEO]

RESOURCES
•Climate Consultant. Free, easy-to-use, graphic-based computer program that displays climate data in dozens of ways useful to architects, builders, contractors, and homeowners, including temperatures, humidity, wind velocity, sky cover, and solar radiation in both 2-D and 3-D graphics for every hour of the year in either Metric or Imperial units. Climate Consultant 6.0 also plots sun dials and sun shading charts overlaid with the hours when solar heating is needed or when shading is required. The psychrometric chart analysis shows the most appropriate passive design strategies in each climate, while the new wind wheel integrates wind velocity and direction data with concurrent temperatures and humidities and can be animated hourly, daily, or monthly.atches to analyze climate data, sun geometry, winds and human comfort
•How to install LadyBug & HoneyBee. List of links addressing guides and video tutorials explaining how to install LadyBug and Honeybee libraries on Grasshopper
•Environmental design Resources. Examples, references and Grasshopper patches to analyze climate, human comfort, and to run mass energy simulation and daylight.
