Parametric design is a design method based on relationships and parameters rather than constants. Parameters can be adjusted by the designer to optimize the design, allowing for a multitude of potential design solutions from a set of rules and parameters defined by the designer. Parametric design enables rapid application of designs through repetition, variation, and rule implementation. It also supports informed design through integration of external data for optimization and analysis of factors like climate, lighting, and structural performance. Software like Grasshopper, Generative Components, and Processing can be used to incorporate parametric methods into architectural design.

Parametric Architecture – Botanical Treeson Cadschsy02

��

The document summarizes the goals and methods of the author's thesis project to create parametric 3D botanical trees in AutoCAD. The goals were to use L-systems and botanical growth curves to generate trees that could be customized through an interface. The interface allows the user to select tree types, ages, toggle leaves, and choose a drawing representation. It also provides tools to define new tree parameters and types or associate custom 3D leaf models to the branches.

Parametric strategies civic and sports architecture designHarold Woods LEED AP, RIBA

The document discusses how the architecture firm NBBJ is leveraging parametric and generative design processes for civic and sports projects. It provides an overview of two case studies where parametric modeling helped address complex design problems and generate unique design features. For the Kintex Expo project, parametric tools were used to develop the curving roof geometry and coordinate related building systems. For the Shell Stadium design, parametric modeling with torus geometry helped rationalize the shell forms into standardized panel modules. The document examines how these projects demonstrate NBBJ's growing use of advanced digital tools over the design and construction process.

This document discusses translating techniques from clothing design into architecture. It begins by noting similarities between the two fields, such as both being concerned with the human body and sharing creative and construction processes. Historically, architects rejected ideas from fashion due to perceptions of it being ephemeral. However, clothing expresses culture and both fields have shifted from ornamentation to functionality. The document presents precedent studies examining revealing/concealing, materiality/surface, framework/skin, and folding/pleating in both clothing and architecture. It explores how folding and pleating techniques from clothing could be applied to architectural concepts. The goal is to learn from clothing design about the relationship between a structure's skin and its interior space.

The document provides instructions for making origami cranes and tulips. It outlines 13 steps for folding a traditional origami tulip, including how to inflate the tulip bulb after folding. It also provides 9 steps for folding an origami crane. In between the folding instructions, it shares a movie synopsis about a rebellious high school boy who finds a baby in his grocery cart and, against his initial plans, becomes attached to caring for the infant.

Parametric Architecture Talk (Presented 13 March 2013)Kermin Chok

��

This document discusses parametric architecture and structural design tools. It provides an overview of using parametric tools for geometry exploration, performance-oriented design, and linking architectural geometry to structural analysis. Examples are given of using these tools for a Shanghai tower project, generating unique floor plates and structural members from architectural massing, applying point loads, and automating structural analysis at scale for a sports hub project. Custom visualization and optimization scripts are also discussed. Despite new tools enabling more design freedom and efficiency, human factors like judgment, decision making and project management remain crucial for successful execution.

Warp knitting designAzmir Latif Beg

��

Warp knitting is a family of knitting methods in which the yarn zigzags along the length of the fabric, i.e., following adjacent columns ("wales") of knitting, rather than a single row ("course"). For comparison, knitting across the width of the fabric is called weft knitting.Warp knitting machines--needles are mounted collectively and rigidly in a horizontal metal bar (the needle bar that runs the full knitting width of the machine).

This document summarizes different structural design concepts and elements. It discusses the forces that act on structures like gravity, wind, and earthquakes. It also describes different structural systems like trusses, frames, shells and their basic elements like beams, columns, slabs. Additionally, it covers structural requirements, types of structures, materials used and provides examples of typical structures.

Folded plate structureEngr. Md. Al-Mobin Shah Masum

��

Folded plate structures are assemblies of flat plates rigidly connected along edges to form a structure without additional beams. They were first used in 1923 for an aircraft hangar. The principle is inspired by folding in nature like leaves and wings. Structural behavior depends on folding pattern and connections. Types include folded plate surfaces, frames, and spatial structures made of materials like concrete, metal, wood, and glass. Applications include roofs, walls, floors, and steel sheet piles. Advantages are light construction and longer spans while disadvantages include complex formwork and labor. Examples are the Air Force Academy Chapel and Yokohama Passenger Terminal. The document recommends using folded plates for portable homeless shelters in Bangladesh.

Space frames are three-dimensional structures composed of interconnected linear elements that transfer loads through a grid-like network. They are designed without intermediate columns, creating large open interior spaces. Space frames come in various types including two-way and three-way grids, and can be single, double, or triple-layered. They consist of tubular members and specialized connectors, such as tuball nodes, nodus connectors, and triodetic connectors. Space frames are light, economical, stiff structures that allow freedom in building design and easy integration of services. Examples include the San Siro Stadium in Milan and Stansted Airport in London.

Space framesBnv Aditya

��

Space frames are truss-like, lightweight rigid structures constructed from interlocking struts arranged in a geometric pattern. They were independently developed in the early 1900s and 1950s to span large areas with few interior supports. Space frames transfer loads through a three-dimensional arrangement of linear elements subjected only to axial tension or compression. Common materials used include steel and timber. Connections are made through various joint types, and space frames can be single, double or triple layered grids. They provide advantages like light weight, stiffness and versatility compared to other structures.
