Use of digital technology in the architectural design process of a multi-family house in Independencia – Lima – Perú 2021

Abstract

The objective of this research is to evaluate the use of digital technology (Rhinoceros-Grasshopper) in the architectural design process in a multifamily dwelling, the accelerated development of new digital technologies has changed the conception of computational design. The methodology used is a case study applying multi-objective digital tools for the simulation of different volumetric scenarios that allow obtaining quantitative information for decision-making, as a result, volumes are obtained adequately ventilated and protected from solar radiation on the hottest days of summer. and generation of adequate shadows in the living areas, in conclusion, the use of digital simulation tools such as the Rhinoceros-Grasshopper software is used efficiently in each stage of the project, and efficient results are especially evident in each space of a project since each stage of the design process it allows the corrections that are commonly made in the different stages of a housing project.
