The Digital Age

Nature – Mankind – Computer
Inspiration from nature is coupled with human wisdom for recreation, which is then put through the facilitation of computer to produce ever-changing shapes.

Contemporary architecture is experiencing a revival. Modern manufacturing processes and digital design equipment mean the complex geometries and structures of buildings can now be created using parametric means.

Parametric design is the contemporary architectural movement, the successor to the Postmodernist style. The parametric planning process is being used in more and more contemporary architectural and design projects.

Parametric design brings about more possibilities. Individual components can now be planned parametrically to create more complex architectural structures. ALUCOBOND presents the Facademaker, a design tool tailored for architects. When individual inspiration is coupled with modern technology, we can see how the new parametricism generates truly unique architecture.
