Parametric Design
Parametric design uses algorithms, geometry, and data to generate architectural form. In this category, illustrarch covers computational workflows, scripting tools like Grasshopper, and built projects where parameters drive the outcome. Read guides and case studies that show how architects turn rules and variables into responsive, buildable structures.
