| Gaia: | Despite their potential for applications knowledge on parametric and generative design
practices are dispersed and confuse between knowledge of technical, methodological and theo-
retical-conceptual nature. This article aims to characterize practices of parametric and generative
design, as well as highlight determining aspects for these practices, then discuss implications of
its adoption in design processes. To achieve this objective a systematic review of the literature on
practices and approaches of parametric and generative design has been conducted. In this review
were considered the technological pathways, operating modes, limitations and recent advances
of these practices. From this review is proposed a conceptual typology of design practices aided
by computer and mediated by algorithms. The online communities of practice phenomenon
is appointed as a possible space to face technical learning required to adopt these practices.
Limitations and recent advances related to these practices are synthesized. Finally, implications
of the adoption of these practices in design processes are discussed in terms of its dynamics and
potentialities. In that sense parametric and generative design practices are revealed as ways to
explore the complexity located in artifacts, between artifacts, between artifacts and users, and
between artifacts and environment. Beyond the representation of something pre-conceived, the
computerized aid based on models (even when dynamic and continuous), the standard functions
arrangements and the simulations with pre-defi ned dynamics, parametric and generative design
practices meet their ideal object at the creation of a rich digital medium for the exploration of
complexity, a medium that permits experimentation with variations of parameters and of particular
dynamics situated in projects. |
