Parametric design as a tool for performative architecture

Abstract EN

Recently in architecture, the need for rapid automatic exploration of design solutions that respond
to complex design requirements through coded systems using computation techniques led to the
inception of what is called Parametric Design.

It facilities the process of performance based
design to integrate performance evaluation of a certain design requirement with optimization
techniques to choose near optimum solutions and neglect the bad ones in early design phases
affecting form generation.

The main objective of this paper is to illustrate parametric design
process which consists of four steps connected during conceptual design phase; Parametrization,
Generation, Evaluation and Optimization, and enhancing performance in buildings.
