Soundscape Park Miami Beach, Florida Ladybug Ladybug is an open-source environmental plugin for Grasshopper3D that helps architects and engineers create an environmentally-conscious architectural design.  Ladybug imports standard EnergyPlus Weather files (.EPW) into Grasshopper and provides a variety of 3D interactive graphics to support the decision-making process during the initial stages of design. 1. Wind rose analysis In order to make a circular shape diagram to show wind speed and wind direction. I downloaded epw file from  https://www.energy.gov/eere/downloads/archive-reference-buildings-climate-zone-1a-miami-florida . Because Soundscape Park is located in Miami, I downloaded the Miami epw file. Import epw file, connect ' wind speed' to ' wind speed', ' wind direction' to 'wind direction'. Double click ' Boolean Toggle'. 2. Shadow range analysis I used the baked model that I made in project 1, and conv

Soundscape Park Miami Beach, Florida ( Project 1 ) 1. Project Information PROJECT NAME: Miami Beach City Center Redevelopment Project LOCATION: Miami, FL,  United States PROJECT TYPES: Transportation, Other SIZE: 7,000 sq. feet AWARDS: 2012 AIA Honor Awards Located in downtown Miami Beach, a former parking lot is now a shaded green oasis that serves as an actively programmed gathering space and outdoor foyer to the Frank Gehry-designed New World Symphony Building. While a partner at West 8, !melk’s founder Jerry van Eyck was the principal-in-charge responsible for winning the project. The design vocabulary of the park’s ground plane is composed of forms that relate to the symphony building’s geometries. White concrete pathways contrast with undulating lawns that have edges with integrated seating. A “veil” of veitchia palms provides shade; a pleasant refuge from Miami’s scorching heat. The edges of the park are animated by three spectacular trellis structures, over
