Share your new tool in a way that allows others to download and easily use it.
Your complete submission should include:
- The Dynamo or Grasshopper scripts and all the supporting nodes needed to run your tool.
- Documentation for how to use your tool. It should include:
- A brief overview of what your tools does (to help users decide whether to download it and give it a try). Think of a “ReadMe” file for software.
- Comprehensive Inputs: Customize building shape and dimensions with variables like the number of surface sides, base radius, middle radius, middle rotation, middle height, top radius, top rotation, and top height.
- Visual Feedback: Inspect different building designs visually through generated 3D models.
- Quantitative Insights: Gain valuable insights into material cost, solar value, daylight potential, rainwater harvesting potential, gross building population, natural ventilation effectiveness, energy consumption, and parking requirements.
- A catchy name (or acronym) for your tool
- A teaser image that shows typical results, i.e. what users should expect to get as an output
- A link to a recorded video demo (2 minutes max) in which you demonstrate how a user would interact with and benefit from using your parametric design tool.
- If you use Zoom to record your video, download the recording to an MP4 file or Copy the shareable link from the Canvas interface.
- If you save an MP4 file to Google Drive or One Drive, be sure to set the permission to Allow Anyone with Link to View.
- If you use YouTube to host your video, set the Visibility to Unlisted, then paste the link into your Notion posting using the “/Video” command.
ARCHI-OPT is a versatile platform designed to assist architects, urban planners, and sustainability consultants in making informed decisions during the early stages of building design. This tool balances aesthetic appeal, functional requirements, and sustainability by providing data-driven insights and visual feedback on various design options. ARCHI-OPT generates a three-profile building model based on user inputs, producing visual representations for aesthetic evaluation and quantitative outputs to guide functional and sustainable design decisions.
