Abstract

Studio is a learning process of architectural design in undergraduate education. Design as a unified system consist of parameters that influence each other so that design considerations must be comprehensive. Building design performance is a measurable parameter. Building design performance simulations integration in the planning and design process can make decision-making more focused and measurable. This paper aims to describe benefits and constraints of integrating building design performance simulations in architectural studio design process using a case study of Student Learning and Innovation Center design process. Case study design emphasizes cooling loads and daylighting. Building design performance simulation is used in the process of analyzing the design form, layout and building skin through shading study, UTCI, thermal comfort, wind, solar radiation, daylight and cooling loads. Simulation using ladybug, honeybee and sefaira software. Design development also considers function, aesthetics, structure, and regulation parameters. The use of design performance simulations in the learning process in an architecture studio has benefits and constraints. Time availability factor affects the accuracy of using the design strategy. Software validity factor affects the confidence level of design decision-making. The design strategy of the simulation results needs to be adjusted to function, aesthetics, structure, and regulation parameters.
