1. Abstract This document and all of the research and experiments that were made are the final product of a research project developed as part of the Young Researchers and Innovators Program "Virginia Gutiérrez de Pineda", on call 510 of 2010. The digital age and the new design tools have had an important role in the architectural production of the last decade, while urban design is waiting for the integration of this new design methodology for the planning of new urban environment. Contemporary society requires new spatial order patterns more varied, complex and densely built, which are inherently multivalent and adaptive, the premise of "parametricism" is that all the architectural and urban elements should be parametrically manipulated and compose a dynamic whole, mutually responsive and adaptative to the context, the key is that the design processes are dynamic, correlated and at the same time vary simultaneously. Parametric urban design is a systematic method for a different approach of new urban spaces in the Colombian and Latin American city, which may be variable and programmed to respond to environmental parameters, which gradually transform and adapt the space, shape and orientation of the individual elements respect to specific conditions to each location and at the same time, this adaptive modulation provides an organic aesthetic of the architectural elements and facilitates the understanding and navigation in the urban environment. Our responsibility now is to design cities that fit, in a sustainable way, to the environment without stopping the progress and development of our society. Keywords: Parametric design, parametric urbanism, digital architecture, digital tools. 1
