This tutorial aims to facilitate the creation of a solar path, ensuring accurate determination of the sun’s position, orientation, and altitude. This precision is invaluable for architectural design, enabling architects to optimize building orientations for solar efficiency. Additionally, it serves as a tool for verifying the solar orientation of heritage sites.
We will use Beegraphy, the online Grasshopper for that.
Is this tutorial we will learn how to
Retrieve environmental data
Create a list and convert string to text, degrees to radians
Convert polar coordinates to Cartesian coordinates
Construct la curve by interpolating points
Create and place a text
Create a sequence to have a print a series of numbers at a specific location
This article was originaly written for a book that will now hardly be published due to several reasons. The text hold by Laurent Lescop, Hadas Sopher (1), Olivier Chamel (2) and Bernd Dalgrün (3) describes the very pionneer experience of Immersive Learning using Metaverses during the covid pandemia. This has been a fondation for what we do now and it would have been sad to hide it on the folder of forgotten works.
