Computation
and parametric design
Computation in architecture revolutionists the way we conceive, design, and construct spaces. It involves leveraging advanced computational tools, algorithms, and programming to enhance the architectural process. We can use computation to process large amounts of data, repeat actions endlessly and also communicate our design and decisions.
Computation enhances our productivity and creativity.

Tooling
The act of creating bespoke tools is not new to many industries and processes and also in architecture itself. Using computation we can develop our own solutions to achieve specific goals or solve a problems.
Leveraging computation we can design new systems to solve complex problems and create new opportunities for design and innovation.
Generative design
Automated design process
We can use bespoke scripts and tools in order to automate laborious design tasks, such as geometry generation and documentation according to the design parameters of the project.
Geometric rationalisation
Complex modeling
Sometimes it is nearly impossible to prepare the final model and documentation of a complex project manually. We can utilise computation to expand our geometric constraints and rationalise our project for production.
Form finding
We can utilise physical simulations and modeling in order to generate appropriate forms. This helps us understand the material and structural properties of our project better.
Simulation
Building performance and environment
Various simulation methods allow us to analyse and visualise the built environment and the climatic context. This data can be used to drive the project geometry and decisions and be a catalyst for a more environmentally friendly design.
