Parametric Design
Parametric Design is a process that uses algorithms and mathematical equations to create complex shapes and structures. By adjusting specific parameters, designers can easily modify the design, allowing for flexibility and innovation. This approach is commonly used in fields like architecture, industrial design, and engineering.
In architecture, for example, parametric design enables architects to explore various forms and optimize performance based on factors like light, materials, and environmental conditions. Software tools, such as Rhinoceros and Grasshopper, facilitate this design method, making it easier to visualize and implement intricate designs that would be challenging to achieve through traditional techniques.
