物理環境模擬輔助建築及都市設計之教學案例

Abstract

氣候環境變遷快速以及建築技術發達，為了適應建築環境日趨複雜化，需要運用資訊科技工具來拉近建築設計與真實環境之間的距離。本教學設計案例主要探討電腦輔助設計—環境模擬工具，輔助建築及都市設計，以環境與效能分析來思考設計策略與方法，整合建築環境資訊及參數式設計應用，強調物理環境與建築設計之間的邏輯思維。本系「物理環境模擬」課程指導學生使用Grasshopper外掛軟體Ladybug & Honeybee進行環境模擬與分析，並配合設計課題目協助學生基地的環境分析及設計方法，使學生在設計過程中即逐步整合設計形式與功能性，促使數位造型設計的成果更具有說服力，訓練學生以設計解決環境問題、強化環境特色，同時培養學生數位工具的觀念與技術。  With the rapid changes of the climatic environment and the development of building technologies, building environments are becoming more and more complicated. Information technology tools are required to narrow down the gape with the real environment. This teaching study mainly explores an area of Computer Aided Design with Environmental Simulation Plugins to aid architectural and urban design. By integrating with building information and parametric design, design strategies and methods are developed based on environmental and performance analysis, emphasizing logical thinking between physical environment and architectural design. The Building Performance Simulation course at our department teaches students the use of the simulation plugin Ladybug and Honeybee for Grasshopper. By pairing this course with design topic, students should learn how to further analyze a building site and include these tools in their design method. Students are expected to gradually integrate form and function during the design process, thereby making their digital form design more convincing. The course trains students to both solve existing environmental problems and emphasize environmental characteristics, while at same time fostering students to understand the concepts and skills of parametric design.
