Imagine being able to push and pull the<br />
formation of materials to within breaking<br />
point, while still maintaing structural<br />
integrity... well that’s parametricism!<br />
Parametricism’s influence on modern design<br />
can be largely attributed to <strong>Hadid</strong>. The<br />
movement itself was popularized by her design<br />
company, and brought into modern culture. This<br />
latest form of architecture goes beyond the<br />
conventional use of rigid shapes. Instead,<br />
it pushes the boundaries of traditional<br />
architecture through non-linear formations.<br />
Thanks to advances in computer technology,<br />
information can now be fed into parametric<br />
programs, and multipilized and randomized to<br />
create a myriad of design possibilities. In<br />
this way, parametricism has revolutionized<br />
architecture. Without computer automation, these<br />
possibilities could not be comprehended, let<br />
alone graphically depicted at such a rapid rate.<br />
Elements are interlinked, one change informing<br />
the next and so on. These elements will<br />
not repeat and always vary, replicating<br />
the way nature deals with complexity.
