While most past architecture consisted of intricately drawn plans, sections, and a ton of planning, in recent years, this traditional design has been replaced by computed technology. Parametric design in architecture uses algorithms and tools to transform complex shapes observed in nature into building forms.
Here are some beautiful architectures that use this technology to create form and geometry.
The Walt Disney Concert Hall
Built as a tribute to Walt Disney, this concert hall offers a mix of a classic shoebox design, the seating arena of the Berliner, or the Boston Symphony Hall. Each of these designs comes together to form a single stunning piece.
Guangzhou Opera House
Using computational design, the Guangzhou Opera House was designed as a freestanding concrete auditorium with exposed glass steel frames and granite that took over five years to build.
Beijing National Stadium
The team that designed this stadium studied Chinese ceramics to help them create a design that is porous. It consisted of two independent structures, a red concrete seating bowl, and an outer frame. These designs made it possible for professionals to easily design this structure and allowed them to focus on the more important factors.
Yas Viceroy Abu Dhabi Hotel
Built as an architectural landmark with a computational designer,this structure embodied key influences from both local and global inspirations associated with aesthetics, geometries, and forms of speed and spectacle. This structure was linked together by a glass bridge and monocoque steel.
End Note
While parametric design has gotten a lot of attention in recent years, it also offers a lot of potential for increasing sustainability and effectiveness. These technologies are being utilized with energy-efficient approaches in optimal window sizes and façade designs that are defined by technology and combining it with a vision that can address the current need of the hour.
