| summary |
This paper considers the role of the
computer for detailed design within the wider
architectural design process. The central proposition
is that parametric modelling software is invaluable for
both preliminary and developed design where there is
a need for the definition, manipulation and
visualisation of complex geometry. The paper begins
with a definition of 'parametric design' followed by a
consideration of its potential to assist or hinder the
designer. A worked example will demonstrate how the
elements that make up a model can be referenced to
each other using a number of clearly defined
constraints, the completed model being changed,
modified and regenerated while conforming to pre-set
conditions. This will be followed by a report on
research into the implications of parametric design
modelling applied retrospectively to Jørn Utzon's
documented design process for the Sydney Opera
House. The study analyses how conventional
modelling coped with the manipulation of these forms
and compares this with the potential of
computer-aided iterative design refinement. |
