Verticale Studio Elective

During this elective, I learned to use a script, named Spyder, to generate several design variants and pick the best performing variants. Using a 3D SketchUp model, and running it through Spyder, I could perform various actions, like twisting and tapering, and studies on the model. One key feature is the calculation of the non-solar heated facade to floor area index (nshffai) which determines if the building is receiving too much heat.
