The space: Points, lines and planes
Understanding 3D space starts with a point and a vector. While mathematical theories are crucial in architecture and engineering education, Paul Klee’s artistic approach offers a simpler, elegant perspective on pictorial generation and spatial understanding.

Fundamentals: The node and the algorithm
The elements that make up a parametric design involve nodes. This term, shared with computation and mathematics, has significant implications for the use of these programs and techniques. While we will not delve into all the terminology, as other authors have documented these elements more comprehensively, we still need a basic framework. Woodbury (2011) defines…
