VERTICAL VARIABLES V1.0

Vertical Variables V1.0 Will focus on the applications of parametric modeling in the form of towers and skyscrapers. The participants will be guided towards developing skills on computational design and parametric strategies which will lead to form finding and optimization through various parameters. Building morphology will be driven from local site conditions and to social behaviors. The computational approach enables designers and architects to overcome the imposition of a prefixed form in order to enhance performance-driven designs. Lectures on current mainstream and academic research, software tutorials and fabrication prototyping, will be integrated into the workshop, divided into three main parts. The workshop aims to provide participants with the new paradigm of architecture, urban parametric design process. Through parametric algorithms, participants will discover the benefits of variable connected systems to create mass customized duplicate processes by way of building element relationships.
