LO: Generative Art

Emilio Bustamante

Section D

Parametric architecture in my opinion is one of the best
representations of generative art. Architects now at days
use different programs where parameters such as numbers
and commands are connected to create different forms and
patterns. This type of design process allows for easy and
fast modification. It also allows for connecting different
elements throughout the design making it more efficient.
A good example of parametric architecture would be the work
by Zaha Hadid architects. Their work reaches a level of
complexity and variety that would not be possible or hard
to do without the help of computer algorithmic calculations.
In my opinion, their best design would be the proposed Sunrise
Tower in Kuala Lumpur Malaysia. The design overlays a pattern
in its form to create one of the most unique facades. Parametric
design has also been a crucial design element for some of my
architecture projects.
