Parametric Design; Bridging Design and Fabrication

Fun Yuen, discussed the role of parametric design and fabrication in contemporary architecture, exploring how digital tools can enhance creativity and efficiency in the design process.

Notably, the Whale Shark installation in Dubai, is a prime example of how parametric design can be used to simplify complex and organic geometries, making them more feasible to construct while maintaining their aesthetic appeal.

She also explains how fabrication is a process of itteration and testing, and how through that process you can achieve a more thorough understanding of materials and construction methods.
