Parametric Design
A design method in which features are shaped based on algorithmic processes rather than direct manipulation - meaning that an adjustment of one of the design constraints or conditions, leads to an instantaneous change in the building model.
When I want to create unique, curvilinear forms - rather than starting with the compass and straightedge, I dive right into math world.

Starts as This:
And This:
Becomes This:
Working in Grasshopper, I can create dynamic, responsive forms that evolve as my vision evolves. Change one element in the parametric environment, and the whole form shifts.
