The “Parametric Design Catalyst for Social Innovation” workshop delivered computational thinking approaches to facilitate our designs in the time of the global warming crisis.

Crossing the Boundaries of Design at the Computational Design: NEXT 8.0 conference with the pioneers of the industry.

As Jean Nouvel rightly said, “Each New Situation Requires a New Architecture”, Parametric is the future, it truly is – The possible refinement of the design processes powered by digital processes has led to a rethinking of an engineer’s or designer’s approach to various application areas. Prototyping in architecture, parametric modelling software, and designing have all seen exquisite approaches in recent years that have come to be known as ‘Parametric Design.’

Paper and sketching have been a constant medium for artists to enunciate their thoughts, visions, ideas, emotions and inspirations. This constant medium has been engrained into different aspects of art, where it gave one a blank canvas to physically manifest these different thoughts and ideas.

Along with Rhino’s basic functions as a modelling software, it has many plug-ins that serve different functions and purposes. One such Software plug-in is “Honeybee”.

Kangaroo is a live physics engine that helps form-finding, interactive simulation, optimization, and constraint solving. It is a 3D plugin for Grasshopper and Rhino.

Pufferfish is an extremely useful software when it comes to creating very intricately detailed 3D models. The elaborate nature of the models can provide a very strong base for further development.

Ladybug is a tool that has become an asset for enhancing environmental analysis created by Mostapha Sadeghipour Roudsari and Chris Mackey.

Computational Design: NEXT 4.0 was a two-day interactive conference on the 17th and 18th April 2021 with global frontiers and design…

A stimulating discussion. Mind-blowing graphical lectures! And what not to swivel and excite you to learn and explore the parameters…
