Abstract
Programmatic Formation explores design as a responsive process.The study
we present engages the complexity of the surroundings using parametric
and generative design methods. It illustrates that responsiveness of
designs can be achieved beyond geometric explorations.The parametric
models can combine and respond simultaneously to design and its
programmatic factors, such as performance-sensitive design-decisions, and
constraints.We demonstrate this through a series of case studies for a
housing tower.The studies explore the extent to which non-spatial
parameters can be incorporated into spatial parametric dependencies in
design.The results apply digital design and modeling, common to the
curriculum of architecture schools, to the practical realm of building
design and city planning.While practitioners are often slow to include
contemporary design and planning methods into their daily work, the
research illustrates how the incorporation of skills and knowledge
acquired as part of university education can be effectively incorporated
into everyday design and planning.
