Case Studies in Parametric Design is a guide to scripting digital models for architects, designers, and builders. The use of parametric design in architecture has afforded the realization of incredible built work; modelling software can resolve complex geometry and aid in the development of stunning creations. Methods for creating the digital models to achieve these results, however, can be... Read more
