Thesis (D.Des.)--Harvard University, 2007.

This research is an inquiry into the nature of computation, and specifically associative parametric computational techniques, as a conceptual source of architectural design. It argues that parametric models, systems, and ideas are used not only to rationalize architectural designs, but increasingly to conceive and generate them. This is a notable departure from the dominant assumption that parametric design is solely applicable in postrationalization processes or for design development and delivery. The thesis states the case of the potentials of associative parametric design for affecting significant changes in thought process, in design process, and in technological processes in architectural practice. It is suggested that the architectural profession is experiencing a paradigmatic shift from a predominant use of explicit CAD technologies and representational methods towards building architectural models as digital simulations, which more importantly are used as increasingly productive tools for design exploration.

520 $a This research is an inquiry into the nature of computation, and specifically associative parametric computational techniques, as a conceptual source of architectural design. It argues that parametric models, systems, and ideas are used not only to rationalize architectural designs, but increasingly to conceive and generate them. This is a notable departure from the dominant assumption that parametric design is solely applicable in postrationalization processes or for design development and delivery. The thesis states the case of the potentials of associative parametric design for affecting significant changes in thought process, in design process, and in technological processes in architectural practice. It is suggested that the architectural profession is experiencing a paradigmatic shift from a predominant use of explicit CAD technologies and representational methods towards building architectural models as digital simulations, which more importantly are used as increasingly productive tools for design exploration.
520 $a The thesis states the claim that this effect is one of design innovation through the notions of variation and design exploration. A model for practice to harness the untapped capability of these technologies and design thinking is the need the thesis most expressly addresses. The focus of the thesis is a study of associative parametric design technology with respect to conceptual design and the general effects this will have on architectural design projects and practice. The research includes a survey of techniques and contemporary uses of parametric technology for the purposes of listing current limitations and revealing future possibilities. The thesis states the case for associative parametric design methodology and computation, not simply as postrationalizations tools but as a means for inquiry into process, into problem description, into design exploration, into form and how we define form, and what happens when we do so. It is a catalyst for further innovations in the formation of architecture's parametric practices of abstraction, mapping, design, exploration, and building. This thesis provides a comprehensive overview of associative parametric design in architectural practice by developing a clear understanding of the implementation and use, and current benefits and limitations, of the technologies and methodologies, and the opportunities and values to be gained by future use and integration into architectural practice's design, thought, and technical processes.
