Parametric Approach Design

2.1.1 Definitions

This chapter examines the parametric approach design as a possible treatment. And displays of architectural design using generative computational procedures in the early stages of the design process. It is important to understand and be aware of the various definitions and terms that must be used in this research.

2.1.2 Parametric levels in Architecture

Generally, in the form of parametric design is made up of the values of the parameters used to describe the relationships between shapes. Hence, the interrelationship between forms can be created and behavior can be defined as mathematically and geometrically. Since about 1990 parametric design tools influenced the architectural design of digital development, as can be

B assigning different values to the parameters different objects or configurations can be easily created. The analysis of parametric and generative representations of buildings, whether based on orthogonal or curvilinear geometry. They are powerful owing to their ability to capture a high degree of variation in a few numerical values (Prousalidou, 2007) (DeCOi, 2000) (Stavric & Marina, 2011).

Software like Maya or Rhinoceros (with Mel or Rhino Script) offers such script editors for parametric design. Maya is software developed for film industry (primarily for animation and capturing) but lately many architects have used it for conceptual design. This design method requires knowledge of programming or scripting and it is inherent of the mathematical algorithms whereby interactive design is not possible (Stavric & Marina, 2011).

1.1.1.2 Constructive parametric

For example, if here is a curve and quadrilaterals at its beginning and end whose dimensions will depend on the curvature of the line at its initial and final points. If the form and position of the curve has been changed, the associated quadrilaterals will change their positions and sizes. This method of design extracts the required parameters from the designed structures and manipulates them using the right algorithms (Stavric & Marina, 2011).

Associative design is based on parametric design techniques that exploit associative geometry. In parametric design relationships between objects are explicitly described, establishing interdependencies between the various objects. Variations between objects once generated, it can be easily transformed and manipulated by activating these attributes. Interdependencies between objects and object behavior can be established under transformation (Emmer,
