Parametric Approach as a Tool for Decision-making in Planning and Design Process. Case study: Office Tower in Kebayoran Lama

Abstract

This study offers discrete method in parametric design to solve problems during design process (programming, site planning, massing, structure planning, and facade planning). This study is applied in the design of office tower in Kebayoran Lama, Jakarta. The objective of the study is to explore the uses of parametric design method, yet, maintains its time feasibility. The result of the study is a method for planning and design that is more advantageous than the conventional ones in terms of simultaneous, coordinated and accountable. This method enables designer to do many iterations and monitor changes during the design process. However, the method needs a higher skill in logical thinking during the process, which demands time.

Performance Simulation Integrated in Parametric 3D Modeling as a Method for Early Stage Design Optimization—A Review

“…The thirteen works that are referenced in Section 2.4 [25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37] were identified as those that present an integrated and automated procedure of computational performance-driven design optimization for specific case studies, without the manual exchange of files between different software tools or extensive custom scripting; i.e., those works that utilized parametric modeling as an organizing framework with simulation, optimization, and graphical 3D representation integrated and already available in the same software package. Therefore, works that did not fulfil all of the above criteria (such as generic optimization [38] or parametric studies [39], computational design studies without an automated optimization procedure [14,[40][41][42][43], energy consumption assessment studies, etc.)…”

“…Suyoto et al [25] used the software packages Grasshopper, Ecotect, Geco, Galapagos, and other tools to solve problems during all stages of the design process (programming, site planning, massing, structure planning, and facade planning) of a mixed use project. Specifically, he used this method to maximize the built area, to search for the shortest pedestrian pathway, to form masses in line with skyline changes and regulation requirements, to reduce heat gains due to solar radiation, to position seating areas and public activities, to optimize a diagrid structure system and to verify deflections and material behavior.…”

“…In combination with the sustainable design movement, it seems that CPDDO is attracting continuously more attention from both professionals and academia as a holistic approach able to bridge the gap among architects and BPS tools, since it combines human (non-determinant decision-making, creativity, pattern recognition, aesthetics) and computer advantages (consistency, calculating, iterative) [25]. Instead of being confined in the offices of experts, used only as a compliance check for various green codes, dynamic environmental performance simulation can now play an active role in the building planning and design process [12].…”

Parametric BIM Façade Module Development For Diagrid Twisted Structures

“…Design stages that applied parametric method are programming, site planning, massing, structure planning, and facade planning. The objectives of the method are project's time efficient, human related advantages (nondeterminant decision-making, creativity, pattern recognizing, and advantages by using computers [6]. As mentioned above, the variables of the model has been defined within the parametric network.…”

Research on Nonlinear Thinking of Landscape Architecture Design based on Computer-aided Parametric Model

“…Contemporary landscape architecture on the one hand to promote integration with the surrounding environment, the new location techniques at present more and more attention has been paid to, but this part of the building did not reach landscape architecture by proper design expected, inconsistent form and function, and even use the defects, the reason is lack of related research on the urban environment and the people behavior patterns and vision and strategies [5]. On the other hand, the complex morphology of the contemporary landscape architecture often make it must design with unique way of generation, the nonlinear science and especially is closely related to the contemporary digital generation and parametric technology, how to take appropriate technical design strategy the design read consistent, has become a topic worthy of study [6].…”
