Summary
CDFAM Computational Design Symposium — Barcelona 2026 Verena Vogler · McNeel Europe Verena Vogler introduces Rhino.Ecologic, an ecological simulation framework for Rhino and Grasshopper built for landscape architects and urban planners working in computational design. The plugin integrates ecological simulation into existing 3D modeling workflows to support nature-inclusive strategies at large and small scales. The presentation covers how the tool generates location and time specific 3D species distribution maps alongside biomass and biodiversity simulations, supporting data-driven ecological decisions throughout the design process. It includes an overview of the plugin, an introduction to ecological simulation in AEC, and a demonstration of the tool in practice.
