Abstract Over the past decades, the huge advances in digital technologies led to the birth of a mutual relationship between architectural theories and the possibilities offered by digital technologies, which led to the rapid extension of the utilization of the computer. from a simple tool of production -focusing merely on increasing the speed of operations, it has evolved into a refined system of control that permits previously unimagined formal explorations. The introduction of complex programming techniques and parametric software offers designers unexpected possibilities, making it almost impossible to predict the effects these tools will have on design simulations. To simplify, parametric software can be considered a programming platform – working within three dimensional CAD environments – capable of generating form through the definition of a conceptual diagram that becomes the only “drawing” developed by the designer. This diagram explicates the associative ties between a range of input data, and generates an output that is a system of dynamic and modifiable forms. |
