Parametric Generation
Parametric Generation is a residential town design created with the parametric tool Grasshopper. Buildings in the traditional style of eastern Sichuan are generated from a small set of parameters, such as length, width, height, eave size and roof slope. The individual buildings can be combined freely, and the complex covers about 100,000 square meters. Designers can add details to the generated models, and any revision is made by entering new parameters. The method keeps one architectural style across a whole town and shortens the design process.
Parametric Generation Building by Junming Chen was highlighted as an outstanding representation of strategy design by the A' Design Award & Competition. Parametric Generation Building received the Silver A' Design Award in Generative, Algorithmic, Parametric and AI-Assisted Design in 2023. The A' Generative, Algorithmic, Parametric and AI-Assisted Design Award is an international, juried, academic and meritocratic design prize that celebrates outstanding design of algorithmic artworks, parametric architectures, generative graphics, AI-Assisted illustrations, computational sculptures, procedural patterns, evolutionary installations, interactive experiences and more.
