Parametric Design
Parametric design is a design method where features (such as building elements and engineering components) are shaped according to algorithmic processes, in contrast to being designed directly. In this method, parameters and rules determine the relationship between design intent and design response. The term ''parametric'' refers to input parameters fed into the algorithms. While today the term refers to the use of computer algorithms in design, there are precedents in the work of architects. Antoni Gaudà used a mechanical model for architectural design (see analogical model) by attaching weights onto a system of strings to determine shapes for building features, such as arches. Parametric modeling can be divided into two main types: * Propagation-based systems, in which algorithms result in final shapes that are unknown based on initial parametric inputs. * Constraint systems, in which final constraints are set and algorithms are used to define fundamentals (structures, mat ...
