| Abstract |
Advances in the technology of Design Computation are giving architects and engineers the opportunity to analyze the buildings with complex geometries. This paper explores the parametric design method and digital tools used to achieve the form generation and descriptive representation for curved shaped skyscrapers. In this paper, we discuss some of the parametric design techniques of dimensional and geometric constraints using the Knowledge-ware scripts embedded in Gehry Technologies' Digital Project. The research uses Gehry Technologies' Digital Project?most useful commercial programs of parametric and associate design among today's CAD/CAE/CAM applications?to apply a concurrent parametric design methodology, approaching the project from both "bottom-up" (building initiated by the assembly of smallest elements) and "top-down" (building from partial modifications on a pre-determined whole), to present a new design process for realization of non-orthogonal towers. |
