Revealing the gap between modernism and parametricism in architecture

Abstract

Examining the relationship between humans and the natural world and the effects of interaction between them has deep roots in our understanding of society and culture. Cities, therefore, are a direct reflection of their citizens, as expressions of their architecture directly influence the living conditions of their people. The gap between architectural design ideas and their interpretation in a real built environment can be addressed differently by the opposite process and effect. Parametric design strategies propose manageable and flexible solutions at an early-stage process that respond to given conditions and outcomes. A method in designing buildings and other architectural forms, parametric modelling techniques often result in certain distinctive formal expressions that attract attention to themselves. This article describes how formal representation of this sort affects how things appear to the eye. However, during the design process, this issue is not considered objectively. One may now explore several design choices quickly and easily with the help of parametric design. The research explores the potential of using this technology to parameterise a constructed space’s formal look, which would then affect how people perceive it and their decisions in the future, leading to a more comprehensive approach to build-space design.
