Abstract
Parametric design has only recently been
applied to the urban scale in the form of
parametric urban design. While parametric design has found its way into design
engineering in the form of structural
analysis and environmental simulation
testing, and into architectural design in
the form of ‘parametricist architecture’, so
far, in urban design, it has mainly been
used for modeling existing urban environments. Nonetheless, parametric urban design holds great potential for artistic design exploration at the urban scale.
Based on a brief description of parametric design in architecture and in urban
design, this paper takes its reader
through two case stories of the use of
parametric urban design for the artistic
exploration of urban space and form. Applied to the scale of the urban, parametric design opens new ways of thinking
about form and space, and enables the
exploration of complex morphologies in
more efficient ways than conventional
design media.
