How much CO2 gets sequestrated by your landscape project? How do you compute plant shading in a 3D model? This session addresses a series of computational methods for efficiently analyzing your landscape model. Our workflow will help you gain detailed knowledge about the environmental impact of your design.

Learning Outcomes:

Learn about the possibilities of parametric BIM models in Landscape Architecture (LIM) using a new workflow.
Learn how to integrate open and export datasets in your landscape model (e.g. topography, global distribution of heat islands)
Learn about different analysis approaches for your landscape model (e.g. CO2 sequestration, shading and cooling effect) How parametric design can contribute to analyzing different design possibilities and making design decisions.
Learn about generative design and optimization strategies based on environmental analysis results in your landscape 3D model to make design decisions based on quantitative knowledge.
