What isss ?

Parametric and Computational Design

Parametric design is an approach to design that uses parameters or variables to define and manipulate the characteristics of architectural elements. These parameters can include dimensions, material properties, environmental conditions, and more. By establishing relationships between these parameters, architects can create designs that respond dynamically to changes and constraints.

Computational design, on the other hand, involves the use of computational tools and algorithms to generate and optimize design solutions. It encompasses a wide range of techniques, including parametric modeling, generative design, and algorithmic optimization. Computational designers leverage these tools to explore complex design possibilities, analyze performance metrics, and iterate on designs rapidly.

Innovation: By exploring new design possibilities and pushing the boundaries of traditional architecture.

Boosts

Efficiency: Promotes Sustainability:

Through automation, rapid iteration, and quick analysis of design alternatives. By optimizing resource use, energy efficiency, and environmental impact.

Offers a Competitive Edge: Future-Proofs Careers:

Architects proficient in computational design are in high demand, offering clients innovative and cost-effective solutions.

As technology continues to advance, computational design skills are becoming increasingly valuable, ensuring architects remain relevant and adaptable in a rapidly changing industry.
