PARAsite: parametric and algorithmic research in architecture

ENCODING MATTER STUDIO BY ROLAND SNOOKS

The studio posits a behavioral design methodology, re-conceptualizing design as the organization of matter. This behavioral understanding of design focusses on the dissolution of normative hierarchies that operate within architectural organization and tectonics. A non-linear algorithmic design methodology is proposed capable of displacing existing hierarchies through the emergent operation of self-organizing systems.

mode tools

Studio Mode is pleased to announce the beta release of ModeTools, a specialized toolbar with custom components for Grasshopper. The first release consists of BakeMaterial and BakeColor components that allow properties of objects developed in Grasshopper to persist after baking. This release of ModeTools is a freely distributable package licensed under Creative Commons License. We welcome all feedback regarding ModeTools – please email us at info@studiomode.nu. Stay tuned for more custom Grasshopper components.

THE MATERIALITY OF THE SPACE

Mariana Paz CastellanosTHESIS PROJECT
Architectural Components (from Phaenotype to Genotype)
The idea was to continue working with parametric software in order to design a space with the capacity of combining a self structured parametric skin with elements capable to control the radiosity and sound effects. The cell has a size capable to fit at least 10 people at one time, but the main issue is that it has the possibility to modify its overall shape or components by changing the parameters which are taken from the surrounding environment; some of which are the amount of light, terrain inclinations, inner space needed, etc. In order to explore its materiality and to allow a natural growth based on the main configuration of the geometry and the material itself, each individual component creates a grid capable to stretch and generate new variations. http://archmpc.blogspot.com/

STEMcloud

by ecoLogicStudio STEMcloud has been developed as a parametric furniture system able to generate spatial atmospheres (clouds) by providing light filtration, privacy and oxygenation. STEM cloud promotes a concentrated experience of man-nature interaction in dense urban contexts where the presence of traditional vegetative systems is close to zero. A series of plug-ins add functionality and customization to the system, introducing artificial lighting, objects containers, pin-up surfaces, etc.
The parametric nature of the single modules allows for a computational definition of the overall clouds; environmental gradients of solar radiation, people flow intensity, co2 emissions can be computed and used as generative environments for the developments of specific clouds/assemblages of STEM

Parametricism: A New Global Style for Architecture and Urban Design

Though parametricism has its roots in the digital animation techniques of the mid-1990s, it has only fully emerged in recent years with the development of advanced parametric design systems. Patrik Schumacher explains why parametricism has become the dominant, single style for avant-garde practice today and why it is particularly suited to large-scale urbanism as exemplified by a series of competition-winning masterplans by Zaha Hadid Architects.
