This book explains parametric design, shows how it works, and focuses on its functional advantages and practical applications. The author, Carlos R. Barrios, is an architect with a background in computer science and fine arts. He has accompanied the development of parametric design at MIT in Cambridge and in cooperation with large practices such as SOM, KPF, and Foster + Partners, and has conveyed the principles and applications for many years in teaching. Systematically structured, illustrated with international built examples and instructive drawings by the author, this book provides a thorough point of reference on a complex subject.weiterlesen
