Woman in Parametric Architecture!

Hi all! How are you?

As part of a research, I am looking for a woman who wrote and worked with parametric architecture. Could you help me givin me some tips on who should I look for?

Of course Zaha is always in mind, but she never wrote about parametric architecture.

I would really appreciate your help!

Most architecture is parametric (design via parameters) in some way. Not to be confused with parametricism (ZHA) which is a style that happens to have a similar name.

Yes, but I am really talking about parametric design using GH ou Dynamo or so on. I am really looking for a woman who did it.

And of course, parametricism is something that patrik schumacher came up with. That's not what I am looking for :)

Do you mean you are looking for a famous woman? Or just woman in general. Almost any person (man or woman) is using parametric design tools these days if they are working in an up to date office.

I am specifically looking for some who does have like a recognized production. And also wrote about her work

I guess, Zaha Hadid would not be interested in seeing whether his staffs were using Gh or Dynamo, or even Maya, so it would be less confusing not to talk about software in the parametric architecture you're talking about. What do you think?

I am not asking someone who wrote about software! I wanna concept, like manifestos about her work. Like if any contemporary architect uses parametric design somehow, I am looking specifically for a woman who wrote about her work!

Can these books be included in your list?
