To Discuss the Application of Parametric Technology in Architectural Design

Abstract:

Architectural parametric design is a process to use intelligent softwares for building a series of geometric models with special mathematical relationships and to modify one unit model’s parameters so that other models are made corresponding modifications. Drawings link is very precise between all professionals such as architects, structure engineers, facility engineers and the efficiency to design and construct is improved greatly compared with traditional way. Parametric design means can generate a large number of colorful building space plastic design options for architects and owners to choose. In the future if architectural parametric design would have been prevalent, our earth will enter the era of flowing cities. This paper has mostly discussed the technology essence, technology platform, advantages and disadvantages of architectural parametric design.
