Parametric design is such that it is the parameters of a design that are declared, not
the shape...
Equations are used to represent the relationships between objects. The ability todefine, determine and reconfigure geometrical relationships is of particular value.

Instead of being assigned fixed values, parameters that define 3d objects (such as
height or radius) can also be stored as variables or formulas.
By assigning different values to the variables, different objects can be easily created.

Formulaic description of relations
Parameters associated with the position and orientation of objects can also be
defined as variables or formulas.
Interdependencies between objects can be created, and models behavior under
transformations defined.
Different configurations can be explored by changing the values of variables.

"The form of any particle of matter, whether it be living or dead, and the changes in form
which are apparent in its movements and in its growth, may in all cases be described as
due to the action of force.
In short, the form of an object is a diagram of forces"

Physical form, according to DArcy Thompson, is the resolution at one instant of time of
many forces that are governed by rates of change. In the urban context the complexityof these forces often surpasses human comprehension. A machine, meanwhile, could
procreate forms that respond to many hereto un-manageable dynamics. Such a
colleague would not be an omen of professional retirement but rather a tickler of the
architects imagination, presenting alternatives of form possibly not visualized or not
visualizable by the human designer.

animate design is defined by the co-presence of motion and force at the moment of
formal conception. Force is an initial condition, the cause of both motion and particular
inflections of a form.

there is no essential difference between a more or less spherical formation and a blob. The
sphere and its provisional symmetries are merely the index of a rather low level of interactions
where the blob is an index of a high degree of information in the form of differentiationbetween components in time. In this regard, even what seems to be a sphere is actually a
blob without influence; an inexact form that merely masquerades as an exact form because it
is isolated from adjacent forces."

What are the implications when
the static is replaced by the variable?
homogeneity makes way for heterogeneity?
modularization is enhanced with variegation?

Can the forces that make the object, both in the generation of the broad strokes and specific
resolutions, combine with an intelligence of fabrication to become a process product?
Here the form, the forces that shape it, and the assemblage of materials in which we execute
the ideology are part of the same gesture. This is not a call to replace the human act of design
with algorithms, but a critical search for a common language between design and execution.
The resulting control of these processes empowers the architect to take on the role of thetranslator of unforeseen relationships simultaneously in imagined and real space."
