dc.description.abstract | Complexity and Strategies for parametric design in architecture. An
application of practice led research. Nowadays a new specialist design role is
emerging in the construction industry. The primary task related to this role is
focused on the control, development and sharing of geometric information
with members of the design team in order to develop a design solution.
Individuals engaged in this role can be described as a parametric designers.
Parametric design involves the exploration of multiple solutions to
architectural design problems using parametric models. In the past these
models have been defined by computer programs, now commercially
available parametric software provides a simpler means of creating these
models. It is anticipated that the emergence of parametric designers will
spread and a deeper understanding of the role is required.
This thesis is aimed at establishing an understanding of the tasks related to
this new specialism and to develop a set of considerations that should be
made when undertaking these tasks. The position of the parametric designer
in architectural practice presents new opportunities in the design process this
thesis also aims to capture these.
Through research and design, this thesis seeks to answer two questions:
what is parametric design and how can it benefit the field of architecture?
Looking at historical and present-day sources, the evolution of computer
aided design has been drawn out leading to the emergence of parametric
design. An explanation and analysis of parametric tools, including a series of
case studies, has been conducted to show how these tools are presently
being utilized by designers. | |
