Overview

In this assignment, you’ll build upon your work for the Module 5 Assignment -- recommending a proposed design to the developers of the new high-rise building project in Dubai based on your evaluation of potential building forms.

Steps to Complete

Submit

• Please create a folder named “Module 6” within your personal folder in our Autodesk Construction Cloud project.
• Create a folder for each stage of the assignment that you’ve completed that includes:
• Your Revit project (.RVT) file and Dynamo graph (.DYN) file for each stage of the assignment.
• Or, your Grasshopper (.GH) file for each stage of the assignment.
• Your new conceptual mass family.
• The summary tables (created in Word, Excel, Google Sheets, or any data table tool) showing the input values tested and the values computed for each of the reported parameters.
💡
Be sure to include your new custom nodes and any custom nodes (from the examples) that your graph depends on.
• Then, copy all of the files in this folder to your Module 6 folder on Autodesk Construction Cloud using the ACC web interface.
💡
Please the following naming convention for your uploaded files: "#ofUnits_NameAndLastName_Module#_Stage#".  For example: 4units_SampleStudent_Module6_Stage1.rvt
• Create a link to your Module 6 folder:
• Right-click on the Module 6 folder in the file tree (at the left side of the interface) and choose Share from the pull-down menu.
• Choose Share with Project Members, then switch to the Link tab.
• Click the Copy button to copy the link to your clipboard.
• Create a new posting on this Notion page — Design Journal Entry: Evaluate Your Alternatives — including:
• For 2 or More Units: Create Two New Evaluator Nodes
• Images showing the node logic in your new evaluator nodes
• An Image/screenshot of your summary table (created in Word, Excel, Google Sheets, or any data table tool) showing the input values tested and the values computed for each of the reported parameters
• For 3 or More Units: Develop a Single-Objective Optimization Scheme
• Brief descriptions outlining:
• Your Single-Objective Optimization scheme (combination/comparison/ranking approach)
• An Image/screenshot of your summary table (created in Word, Excel, Google Sheets, or any data table tool) showing the input values tested and the values computed for each of the reported parameters.
• Be sure to highlight your top 3 recommended design alternatives (for either one the example building forms or the new building form that you designed) and recommend the one design that you consider to be the “best”.
• An explanation of why you consider the recommended building form to be the “best” choice
• For 4 Units: Visualize the Recommended Alternative
• Images/screenshots showing the recommended building form based on your evaluation and analysis.
• If created in Revit or Grasshopper, show the panelized building form with visual feedback showing how your panels reflect one of the evaluations computed for the panels.
• If created in Autodesk Forma, share images/screenshots showing the results of the Daylight, Wind, and Solar Energy analysis.
• Your answers to the Points to Ponder questions for each stage of the assignment that you completed.
• The link to your Module 6 folder in our Autodesk Construction Cloud project.
