Grasshopper & Projects Creating tools to make parametric models of existing projects

Three projects where re-made by programming different tools in grasshopper to make the models parametric. They were chosen from different architectural categories and because of a great difference in what digital tools they would need. The projects where FabLab House, Jellyfish House and R128. FabLab House is a previous Solar Decathlon building, thus solar energy income was an important factor to deal with in the grasshopper script. The Jellyfish House is an experimental competition that handles a lot of complex systems within its building envelop and the script needed to interpret this complexity. R128 by Werner Sobek is a good example on a modern modular housing with lots of nicely solved energy systems.

Jellyfish house

;

By Ivamotoscott Architects

The Jellyfish House is pretty much an empty envelop. But the interesting part is what happens within this envelop and how it works without any interaction from its users. It acts both as a protecting physical cover and also as an active smart technology that remediates its own environment. Just like the jellyfish the building is symbiotically integrated with the ecological processes of its site. The skin of the building consist of a mesh that captures, filters and stores rain water so that the inhabitants can use it. It is first lead to cavities where UV light filament purifies it, powered by thin PVfilm. To protect the inhabitants from the harmful UV rays, the cavities are coated with titanium dioxide that filters it. Moreover the skin has fluid-filled pockets with a phase change material that act as a latent heating and cooling system. Worth mentioning is also that the house is a future vision, that should be feasible to construct within 25-50 years. J

R128

By Werner Sobek

The R128 house was the first building to meet the requirements of the triple zero standard. It was designed to be completely recyclable with no emissions and to be self-sufficient in terms of heating and energy consumption. The building is completely glazed with high insulating triple glazing panels. To meet the energy requirements the heat energy radiated into the building is absorbed by water filled floor elements. The water is stored in a reservoir which is used to heat the house in the winter by reversing the exchange process. The electrical energy required for the energy concept is produced by pv-cells on the roof. All the energy systems are computer controlled to optimize performance and allow the system to be remote controlled. The load bearing structure consists of a steel frame stiffened by diagonal steel wires. The design is modular without composites and the structure is assembled with mortice-tenon joints and bolts. This makes the structure easy to assemble, disassemble and recycle.

Conclusions Experience from the three projects and collective reference database.

There were many things from the projects that influenced the outcome of the final competition project. From modular frame system in the facade, to an active building envelop and ideas about how to gain as much solar energy as possible. Tools where developed to understand complexity in structural elements and solar gain.

strategies Strategies and overall goals

The overall strategies and goals where to create a lightweight building with low-tech equipment. The building should have a simple construction that even students could build.

Building Principles Basic principles & logic behind the design of the building

Water system

Ventilation system

Rainwater is purified along the green walls, and doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t run off as quickly as normal. The water also gets collected in a water buffer tank. This water can then be used for showers and sinks and is later purified again via the facade.

The southern wall acts as a trombe wall when heated; it makes air cirkulate and heat it within the building envelop. During summer or whenever cooling is needed the house instead act as a solar chimney, with air beeing cooled by thermal mass at the north facade.

Interior system

Exterior principles

A part of the load carrying structure morphs in certain places to create furniture and spatial qualities. It also lets the inhabitants have plenty of space for storage. This organic shape makes the interior more soft and toghether with the floor heating from the water tank it feels nice and warm.

The lower part of the southern facade is dedicated to growing your own vegetables! they are easily reached and are slided into the facade so they can be removed at any time. Evapourative cooling from the green facade is also one important feature during hot summer days.
