Architectural Designers
Form-finding by site forces (sun, wind, terrain), with testable rules + a Rhino 8 round-trip, in four versions behind one door. V4 shapes the parametric gable; V5 tests any geometry (yours included) against the real site — fetched terrain, EPW sky-matrix radiation, the wind rose, occluded sun; V6 form-finds live, walking V4's own sliders uphill on weighted forces; V7 runs several named APPROACHES at once (sun-first, shelter-first, lean skin, bedded in…) against the same measurements, so you get the designs each one arrives at standing on one piece of ground, the trade-offs between them, every design re-scored under every approach, best-worst-case and least-compromise picks, and a written comparison you can pin up. Every automated version searches inside buildability rules you set — roof clear of the ground, headroom, ridge height, roof covering the walls, walls landing on the plinth, a door that fits. The default face of the Architectural Designer group.
The arc: V4 shapes one gable house against a synthetic ravine. V5 tests any geometry against the real site — fetched terrain, EPW sky-matrix radiation, the full wind rose, occluded sun. V6 turns the arrow around without leaving the family: the same gable, form-found live — weighted site forces walk V4's own sliders (ridge, pitches, overhangs, the south window, orientation) uphill on the V5 scores, so the house you know morphs toward what the site wants. V7 does several at once: a set of named approaches — sun-first, shelter-first, lean skin — search in parallel against the same measurements, so you end up with several defensible designs, the trade-offs between them, and what each one costs the approaches that didn't produce it. Same engine, same parameters, same metric keys; the numbers stay comparable.
