Deep connections between homeowners and their homes begin with a comprehensive design workflow. And, integrating energy modeling into the early stages of the design process offers clients insight on how high-performance buildings will impact their lives.
In this webinar, Habit Studio,
an architecture and residential design firm that’s a leading authority in
sustainable home design, will share the workflows and tools that help them
achieve their sustainability goals.

DIGITALLY CRAFTING A BOX OF TREES: SQUAM LAKE HOUSE CASE STUDY
Alchemy Architects' Squam Lake house is a practical case study in selecting and using digital modeling tools to design complex geometries, communicating intent, and achieving their practical execution.
The house is metaphorically a box of trees.
With an interior entirely of oak, it embraces the spirit of the densely-wooded site. The metaphoric trees bring in light and ventilation, while defining spaces, circulation, storage, and a separate boathouse. The house was digitally modeled using
BIM software, allowing the house’s envelope and tree forms to be CNC-fabricated. During this course, the BIM and scripted-algorithm process will be discussed, as well as the transfer and communication of this information to fabricators.

Collaborating using a Building Information Model (BIM) can be done in a variety of ways, and there isn’t just one tool or one method available. These varied collaboration workflows depend on the needs of your project and the skill levels of your team
members involved.
One key factor of BIM collaboration is the ability for each team member to use the software of choice that fits their tasks and can offer collaboration opportunities with others. To serve this, flexible design tools and open
standards can provide ways to work with others while removing the need to use (or learn) unfamiliar software with limited, rigid workflow options.
This webinar will demystify the options for BIM collaboration so you can make an informed decision
about the best method for your needs on any given project.

Learning Objectives
Define “BIM collaboration” and describe the different ways of collaborating on BIM projects.
Explain the roles, responsibilities, and fundamental best practices of collaborating with consultants on a building information model.
Describe and differentiate the key tasks involved in a collaborative BIM process.
Identify the collaboration requirements of an upcoming project as well as evaluate and choose the right tool(s) to accomplish the tasks.
BIM has primarily been considered for large project documentation efficiency, while smaller projects and their design processes are often neglected. This session’s goal is to show architects and allied design professionals how the inherently data-rich nature of BIM can serve smaller and design-oriented projects. BIM can refine your building design process and help you use materials more sustainably.
Through a series of technical vignettes, participants will see BIM in a new light: far more than an improved documentation and sharing environment reserved for large projects, BIM can improve both the efficiency of the design process and the efficiency of the design itself.

Learn about quantitative BIM design opportunities and the value of applying them to a resource-efficient design process.
Understand how building design information can be a powerful foundation for an architectural response to material and resource use.
Identify the applicability of BIM tools and workflows to achieve project goals for sustainable resource use and building performance.
Learn about specific cases demonstrating BIM's role in the optimized design of material-efficient, high-performance buildings.
Algorithms-aided design tools are quickly becoming a standard of the AEC industry. They can bring endless opportunities for customization and automation within your design software and allow you more experimentation and optimization within your designs.
Algorithms-aided design can be intimidating to a new user, but the most important thing you need to get started is a problem you want to solve. Once you get started, the true possibilities begin to open up. In this presentation, Sarah Barrett, senior
architect product specialist at Vectorworks, Inc., will discuss some basics of algorithmic modeling, give some examples of scripts that you can build in BIM software, and look at several real-world algorithmic modeling success stories.
