Parametricism

Rethinking architecture's agenda for the 21 st century

Parametricism by its very formulation is controversial. As a term, ‘Parametricism’ is an in action of the concept of ‘parametric design’: the design process that employs variable parameters or algorithms to generate geometries or objects. While the parametric design is a matter of methodology and aesthetically agnostic, with the addition of that crucial ‘ism’ Parametricism takes on all the stylistic and social intentionality of a movement. In an age of pluralism, Parametricism’s assertive confidence sets it apart from within the architectural community, igniting dissent. (See Mark Burry’s description of the architectural ‘kerfuffle’ it has stirred up on p 32 and Mark Foster Gage’s scathing Counterpoint on p 128.) Parametricism is uncompromising and unapologetic in its bid for centre stage. Rather than seeking to accommodate a multitude of simultaneous tendencies or trends, it assuredly aspires to be the single universal, global style in a manner that is redolent of Modernism. Like the Modern Movement, it draws its charge and impetus from technological advancement, as described by Guest-editor Patrik Schumacher in the Introduction: ‘Parametricism is architecture’s answer to contemporary, computationally empowered civilisation, and is the only architectural style that can take full advantage of the computational revolution that now drives all domains of society.’ Unlike other architects, who are different to the point of being evasive about the formal qualities of their architecture, Schumacher unambiguously advocates Parametricism as a style.
