Parametric Design for Architecture

Jabi Wassim - 2013

Overview

Parametric design represents a significant advancement in CAD, enabling architects and designers to define key model parameters and modify them interactively. Changes propagate automatically throughout the entire model. This book offers a practical guide to generating geometric and topological solutions for diverse architectural challenges. It details various parametric, generative, and algorithmic techniques, including step-by-step tutorials.
