“…By using the method developed by Nicholas Monchaux et al [5] to manage the imported files in Grasshopper, the GIS data then inserted into Grasshopper component using VB.net programming language contained in the current builds of Grasshopper. GIS output data from the component reads directly from the GIS shapefiles so it was not necessary to first import the GIS data into Rhinoceros (Figure 2,3).…”

This research proposes a parametric model to be applied in the process of green building design that integrates particular city land use regulations and provide visual feedback to the architect about the setback information, profiles, and Floor Area Ratio that could be integrated with their solutions. In addition, through the use of real-time geospatial inputs, parametric models will add specificity to the site coordinate accounting, neighboring parcels, and land use designation in the solution. Two parallel streams simultaneously investigated, one that checks the local conditions of a single plot and a more global urban conditions considered.

“…There is a limited but growing number of approaches to parametric urban design. While some are analog and do not rely on parametric design software (Steinø, 2010), most make use of more or less dedicated parametric design software, ranging from general parametric design software such as Grasshopper for Rhino (Beirão et al, 2011;de Monchaux et al 2010) to specialized parametric urban design software such as CityCAD or CityEngine (Pellitteri et al, 2010). Steinø et al (2013) define four different approaches to parametric urban design: 1.…”

Due to the complex nature of urban space and the multitude of interests vested in it, urban design can be described as a complex system. Various disciplines are involved in the analysis and development of urban space. In this respect, collaboration is key in creating socially and physically sustainable urban design. This paper, using a student workshop as a point of departure, discusses the potentials of parametric design as a methodological approach in collaborative urban design between disciplines and with non-professionals.
