| summary |
The rapid growth of medium and large cities has led to an increasing demand for innovative and intelligent solutions for urban design and infrastructure. The use of City Information Modeling (CIM) and parametric design software has been one of the implemented solutions, allowing for greater agility in the process and integration with databases to recreate a digital urban structure and simulate complex scenarios. However, many of these tools remain relatively unknown among urban designers, with plenty of potential to be explored. This research aimed to identify the recent practices in the use of algorithmic-parametric design at the urban scale and in CIM project management, and explore their applications through a systematic review of the literature based on scientific articles. The review resulted 37 articles that were selected for a detailed search in the abstracts, methodologies, results, and discussions. The most frequently employed tools are related to urban energy efficiency, traffic planning and walkability, urban morphology analysis, and building typologies and density. Algorithmic-parametric design applications and plug-ins were identified to assist mainly in flow analysis, performance, comfort, and city modeling. Additionally, 23 statistical and geographic database formats were identified that generate volumes and land and mass spaces or perform performance analysis data processing. |
