Parametric architecture
Parametric architecture is born of computation: algorithms generate complex, fluid, bespoke forms. Continuous curves, optimized structures and undulating skins make it the language of the digital.
Style signatures
- Fluid, continuous forms, complex curves
- Undulating skins, lattices and variable grids
- Algorithm-generated geometry
- Optimized structures, no sharp angles
- Smooth materials: composite, metal, glass
How to render this style
Parametric is all fluidity: look for the continuity of the curves and light gliding over the undulating surfaces. Avoid sharp angles, foreign to the style.
Render tips
- Ask for 'continuous fluid forms' and 'algorithmic curves'
- Soft light reveals the modelling of the undulating surfaces
- Cite lattices, parametric skins or organic truss structures

Frequently asked questions
Architecture where form is generated by parameters and algorithms, enabling complex, fluid, optimized geometries impossible to draw by hand.
