A generated parametric design

A parametric design consist of the following seven elements which make up the spatial plan:

  • Roads
  • Water
  • Parking
  • Side walk
  • Building
  • Garden
  • Public Green

For each of the elements a function can be chosen. Other parameters such as the width of the roads and the number of floors for the building can be adjusted. To generate the design, the amount in percentages of each function (with the exception of the side walk function) can be adjusted with a slider.

The general strategy is to choose an area and a design type. Then set with the sliders the percentage per function you would like to see in the design. After the design is generated, notice in the pie chart in the bottom panel the actual percentage of each function that is calculated by the algorithm behind the parametric design generation. When you are happy with the generated design, the plan can either be saved to the Current Situation or constructed in Future Design.
