Parametric Design is a generative method in architecture and other art disciplines. The artist does not create an art piece directly, but he/she defines the algorithm (a sequence of operations according to which software creates a 2D or 3D structure) and based on the input parameters he/she can continuously and efficiently change the final look of the work.
The theoretical introduction is followed up by practical classes. Selected examples will demonstrate the possibilities of Grasshopper, the graphic coding editor. In the second half of the semester students will create individual planar and space designs in cooperation with the pedagogue.
In the study programmes “Architecture and Urban Design” the course is part of the courses on tools.
