With this exercise you will create renderings of your respective future scenario of Altstetten, Zurich.
During the exercise you will get to know the NVIDIA® reality server learn how to develop advanced renderings.
For further help you can use the given Tutorial.
At the Final Presentation on May 7th you will present your results of the Ecotect exercise as well as your urban analysis and your final renderings of your future scenario.

A GIS is a system (hardware + database engine) that is designed to efficiently, assemble, store, update, analyze, manipulate, and display geographically referenced information (data identified by their locations).A GIS also includes the people operating the system and the data that go into the system.
Ecotect Analysis offers a wide range of simulation and building energy analysis functionality that can improve performance of existing buildings and new building designs. Online energy, water, and carbon-emission analysis capabilities integrate with tools that enable you to visualize and simulate a building’s performance within the context of its environment.

With this exercise you will do simulations and building energy analysis with your respective future scenario of Altstetten, Zurich.
During the exercise you will get to know the software Autodesk Ecotect and learn how to deal with the comprehensive concept-to-detail sustainable building design tool.
At the Mid-term Crit on April 16th you will present your results of this Ecotect exercise as well as your urban analysis and your first implementation into the CityEngine.
Ecotect Analysis ( 30pts)
Please hand in images with the following information:
a. Two shadow images (one for the 21st of June and one for the 21st of December) with the Daily Sun Path and the Annual Sun path.
b. Two shadow ranges images (one for the 21st of June and one for the 21st of December). The rages have to go from 9:00 to 17:00.
c. An image with the Sun path Diagram for each day.
d. Two images for the Solar Access Analysis without setting the grid (one for summer and one for winter).
e. Two images for the Solar Access Analysis with the grid on the xy plane base (one for summer and one for winter).
f. Two images for the Solar Access Analysis with the grid on a facade (one for summer and one for winter).
g. An image of the Daylight factor analysis on the xy plane base.
h. An image of the Daylight factor analysis on a facade.
i. One image of the Spatial Visibility Analysis.
j. One image of the wind flow analysis. (optional)
k. One image of the acoustic analysis.
Remember to set up at the beginning the Location and the Weather data.

Participation implies that planning is not a purely technocratic exercise in which policies and decisions are made by professionals in conjunction with authoritarian political power holders or even by elected representatives alone. Collaborative planning implies a process of debate, deliberation and consensus-building (i.e. joint decision-making). The underlying rationale for these approaches can be traced to democratic theory, which holds that active citizenship has intrinsic value. (…) The result is considered to be more appropriate policy and fewer implementation problems.

With this collaborative workshop we start our project work in the case study area of Altstetten, Zurich.
Your work will contribute to the project on Sustainable Urban Patterns (SUPat) within the transdisciplinary National Research Programme 65 (NRP65 ‘New Urban Quality’).
You will compose an architectural programming matrix by developing and defining urban scenarios. Each requirement refers to a dimension card or to a impact variables card.
A figurative Design Code Catalog, as introduced in Lecture 2 and 3, will be developed for the four future scenarios (Character City, Smart City, Pure Dynamic, Charming Valley).
Combining your findings of this collaborative workshop with your procedural modeling skills earned in the CityEngine tutorials in exercise 1 and 2 you will be able to set up a first CityEngine model on a building scale in the upcoming project work.
At the Midterm-Crit on April 16st you will present your results as well as your implementation in CityEngine.
Design Code Catalogue ( 30pts)
