The space: AEC software
Architects historically used drawings and models to understand space, with the introduction of perspective in the 1600s greatly enhancing this. Modern design software adds the dimension of time, creating immersive walkthroughs. Programs like Rhinoceros interpret space through points, lines, and planes, enabling precise spatial representations.

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…

Finding the formula
Exploring the evolution of parametric architecture reveals a historical pursuit to define beauty through replicable rules, from ancient practices to modern insights. Luigi Moretti and Ivan Sutherland played pivotal roles in integrating mathematics and technology into architectural methodologies, fostering new paradigms in design. Today, the accessibility of powerful processors empowers architects to innovate through parametric…
