Introducción al diseño paramétrico: utilización de herramientas digitales para la resolución de superficies complejas mediante la aplicación de algoritmos

Abstract

The present project has as its objective to create a theoretical and practical base about parametric design and its potential use for architectural design, especially in our environment, in which its evident the lack of knowledge about this kind of tools and the potential that these has to speed up processes both for the design stage and for construction, with this in mind a design exercise was created using visual programming tools which allows to generate algorithms that will be executed by the computer, this design will later on be built to help determine how feasible it is to use this technology in our environment. The project has been framed as an exploratory type of investigation, with an experimental design, several techniques were used for data gathering, among which mainly stand out gathering of text and other kind of secondary information, primary information elaboration and experimentation with the software put to test. The visual programming software Autodesk Dynamo in conjunction with BIM software Autodesk Revit has been used for the creation of the algorithm that will generate the design, there programs served as well as a basis for the creation of the manufacturing process of the pieces that make up the design, laser cutting technology was used as well. This way the advantages and disadvantages that the use of this technology represent in our environment could be concluded, at the same time that an important step towards the adoption of this technology is made
