Parametric design is a process based
onalgorithmic thinking that enables the expression
ofparametersand rules that, together, define, encode
and clarify the relationship between design intent and
design response. WHAT IS PARAMETRIC DESIGN? Parametric design is a paradigm in design where the
relationship between elements is used to
manipulate and informthe design of complex
geometries and structures.

The ground of parametric design is the
generation of
geometry
from the
definition of a family
of
initial parameters
and the design of the formal
relations they keep with each other.

It is about the use of variables
and algorithms to generate a
hierarchy of mathematical and
geometric relations that allow
you to explore the whole
range of possible solutions
that the variability of the initial
parameters may allow.

It is the use of
algorithms and
advanced
computational
techniques not
for the sake of
drawing shapes,
but creating
formal
possibilities.

It is not about
producing a
solution, but the
family of
possible
outcomes.

It is the shift from
using CAD
software as a
representation
tool, to do it as a
design tool.

BRIEF HISTORY
OF PARAMETRIC DESIGN
Analogue Parametric Design Gaudi's analogue method includes the main features
of a computational of a parametric model such as:
Independent Input Parameters:
The string length, birdshot weight and anchor point
location all form
Functions (to derive outcomes):
Gravity or Newtons law of motion.
Model Outcomes:
The vertex locations of the points on the strings

Force Form Finding "A hanging chain has at least four parameters: its
length, its weight, and the two points it is attached
to. Left to hang under the force of gravity, the chain
makes a curved shape. This curve is an explicit
function of the chain’s parameters with the added
property that when inverted the curve stands in
pure compression. While there is no computer, the
hanging chain is a parametric model due to the
presence of parameters that control a shape
derived from an explicit function (in this case
calculated by gravity)" Frei Otto’s Contribution-Legacy to Parametric Design and
Material Computation

“Blob” and “Fold” Architecture -
Greg Lynn (b. 1964) Blob architecture is a type of
wavy, curvy building design
without traditional edges or
traditional symmetric form.
It is made possible
by computer-aided-design
(CAD)software.

LATEST RESEARCH
IN PARAMETRIC DESIGN

Generative Design Generative design is aform
finding processthat can
mimic
nature’s
evolutionary
approach
to design.
"Generative Design is a
morphogenetic process using
algorithms structured as non-linear
systems for endless unique and
unrepeatable results performed by
an idea-code, as in Nature,”
Celestino Soddu, 1992

TOOLS & SOFTWARE CATIA CATIA (Computer Aided three-dimensional Interactive Application) was
used by architect Frank Gehry to design some of his award-winning
curvilinear buildings such as the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao Autodesk 3DS Max 3ds Max uses the concept of modifiers and wired parameters to control
its geometry and gives the user the ability to script its funct ionality. Rhinoceros – Grasshopper 3D A plug-in for Rhinoceros 3D that p resents the users with a visual
programming language interface to create and edit geometry Autodesk Revit - Dynamo Revit was developed in response to the need for software that c ould
create three-dimensional parametric models that include both ge ometry
and non-geometric design and construction information.
