Raising the i-factor: bridging parametric shape and parametric design
نویسندگان
چکیده
Using the artifice of the i-device as an analogue, this paper examines issues in making design software more accessible through projects on computer-aided sustainable design, panelization for design and fabrication, and parametric shape grammar interpretation. In each case accessibility is improved by transitioning design from a representational concern to one that is more process oriented through the use of localized semantics.

This paper presents the results of a number of computations using the 2D FEM to show the effects of significant variables on the behavior of geosynthetically reinforced earth slopes. The verification and reliability of the results are primarily examined through comparisons with experimental data available. The results seem to be quite acceptable and can be used with a high degree of reliability...
متن کاملBridging building information modeling and parametric design
This article discusses some of the limitations in Building Information Modeling, by positioning and comparing it with Parametric Modeling. While inherently parametric, the common approach of utilizing BIM is mainly through labor-intensive modeling. The usability of BIM throughout the design process is strengthened, by improving the integration between both approaches.
