Parametric and generative methods
of design, often incorporating
explicit computer programming,
represent a working method based
more on procedure than geometric
form. This paper reviews a recent
workshop held at the Bartlett
School of Architecture, using
Bentleys Generative Components
software to teach parametric
modelling, with a focus on digital
fabrication of the projects. We
propose that in the design studio
of the future, these procedural
techniques may help to forge a
closer connection between the
