Parametric design in architecture is not as complicated as it might look. Sure, the swooping curves of the Guggenheim in Bilbao or the dramatic form of the Heydar Aliyev Centre might leave you in awe, but at its core, it’s about one simple idea: designing by parameters. The catch lies in setting up the right variables (think climate, materials, human use) and letting them shape the design.  Today, parametric design is more relevant than ever, especially with the rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and other computational tools. What began as an experimental concept has evolved into the driving force behind…

At Expo 2025 in Osaka, Aki Hamada Architects (AHA) developed a one-of-a-kind 3D printed earthen rest facility employing a stand-alone crane by WASP. The AHA suggested a vision for future architecture in which people construct their nests from locally sourced materials. Soil was chosen as the material because it is a primitive and locally available resource that may be returned to the ground. This project demonstrates a future in which humans, nature, and robots cohabit, as achieved through natural-material architecture and advanced robotic 3D printing. ©WASP The structure was erected utilizing a Stand-Alone Crane WASP from WASP capable of extruding…
