ARCHITECTURAL PARAMETRICS
The illustrations shows the result of a 1-week workshop with second year students at Aarhus School of Architecture, who have been working with parametric design and digital fabrication. Through the use of software utilities such as Grasshopper and Rhino, a parametric model has been built for the architectural study of the semesterĀ“s theme - structure and seriality. The themes of the studies has been a fundamental exploration of the relationship between structure, rhythms, transparency and movement.Ā
The architectural studies through parametric models were dynamically interconnected with economy, material consumption and production data. The resource and manufacturing costs of any design proposals have been evaluated by the students regularly during the design phase.Ā
The parametric model has given instructions directly to the structureĀ“s construction, which was done through the laser cutter and handheld tools. The result is an interplay between optimised conventional mass fabrication and digital manufacturing unique items. (1)
