Parametric Systems
Project by : Joseph Choma
This parametric project is an interesting one that questions the theory of what a home is, and offers a unique perspective about having a programmable house and actually having the architect now not designing an individual home, but rather programming an independent interface in which a client could interact with.
Eco-Sustainable Housing - Parametric Design
This system based on a thinly cut limestone rhomboid framework, reacts to the environment and is able to flex with external stimuli such as wind and thermal pressures that either rearrange the framework or stretch/compress it into a lighter or thicker membrane depending on temperature.
