Parametric Design

Introduction to Parametric design, Historical development of parametric design, The structure of parametric design processes, their characteristics and reusable parametric design approaches

Fundamental Concepts Spatial coordinates, Projections, Boolean operations, Formal transformations, of Geometric Modeling Freeform surface creation, Surface development and deformations aimed at architecture applications, Discretization and meshing, Digital prototyping and geometry reconstruction. Concepts in computational geometry applied to parametric architectural geometry modeling.

Introduction of tools for model design parametrically to illustrate the construction of geometrical relationships among complex shapes. Focus on hands-on techniques that can be applied to the design process, to extend the efficiency and productivity of work during the process. Use of softwares like Rhino, Grasshopper, Kangaroo, Revit and Dynamo.

Using 3D digital modeling to efficiently produce components without the need for 2D representation.

• Use of Ladybird and honeybee plugins for simulation. APPROACH
• Through the combination of lectures, hands-on workshops and project-based seminars
