Contemporary Digital Practice

CONTEMPORARY PARAMETRIC PRACTICE + A CASE STUDY ON EXPERIENCE MUSIC PROJECT BY FRANK GEHRY


Parametric design has been available for half a century, and it has not been; until the last 2 decades that architects have started to make use of this technology and explore its potentials in the field of their practice. Parametric design allows design information to be stored in a relational or fractional base so that changes made to one entity will directly affect all related entities. The incorporation of this design technique requires parametric computing skills and knowledge, where in some cases, ‘scripting’ is involved to assist project execution and documentation.

This paper attempts to identify the implicated advantages and disadvantages faced by the practises that utilize this approach. Information shared by all concerned participants is digitized. This study indicates as well, the demands in changes within an organizations project delivery system; with emphasis on the roles carried out by the architects, engineers, fabricators, manufacturers, and contractors.
