Bibliometric Analysis of Generative Design, Algorithmic Design, and Parametric Design in Architecture

Abstract

This research aims to display, compare, and analyze the keywords related to parametric design, generative design, and algorithmic design. Digital design has become increasingly inseparable from architects; thus, 3D modeling software has become a necessity for architects. The digital workflow has put computational design—generative design, algorithmic design, and parametric design—into importance. There are emerging trends for the past decade, and a bibliometric analysis can display information about trends in the literature. Literature trends may provide insight into the direction of computational design development. This study uses a bibliometric analysis with VOSviewer and data from Lens to identify the trends from 2011 to 2021. The result indicates several trends: artificial intelligence, computation, machine learning, visualization, and internet technology. The trend analysis needs to be continued in other computational design categories to find continuity in the findings.

Automating Microclimate Evaluation and Optimization during Urban Design: A Rhino–Grasshopper Workflow

“…The recent development of parametric/algorithmic and generative designs as new methods used for architectural and urban design [31,32], characterized by a systematic and automatic exploration of countless design possibilities and, more effortlessly than ever, the generation of relevant data for urban performance analyses and decision making [33,34], is now demanding that microclimate simulation models be integrated into parametric design software environments to facilitate the responsiveness and the automatism of microclimatic analysis along with the design of urban spaces [35][36][37][38][39]. One of the prime examples of such parametric environments is the Rhino-Grasshopper environment where many thirdparty microclimate simulation packages such as EnergyPlus, OpenFoam, Radiance, etc., have developed into Rhino-Grasshopper 3D, and plugins such as Dragonfly, Ladybug, Honeybee, Butterfly, etc., for the purpose of integrating wind flow, solar access, heat transfers and human thermal comfort analyses into an automated and climate responsive workflow [40][41][42][43].…”

The Impact of Digital Tools on Parametric Architecture

“…The field of parametric design is expanding every day and intersecting with many other fields [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15]. (Fig.…”

Sector Analysis of Islamic Capital Markets and Artificial Intelligence Functioning as Sharia Advisors

“…Ahmad Fauzi Abdul Hamid, in his first lecture on 26 April 2018, entitled Islamism and Its Material: The Great Challenges of Malaysian Politics in the 21st Century, acknowledged that the process of "contraction" of this type of discourse is the result of an extreme focus on the process of Shari'atization and Salafization. This "shrinkage process" is a cause of great concern that must be addressed collectively [18].…”
