Form and urban life in Christopher Alexander's work: translation of patterns for parametric code

Cavalcanti, Isabella Eloy ; Mendes, Leticia Teixeira ;

Conference full papers:

Computational design, specifically parametric modeling, has played important role in reaching complex forms, optimizations and automations of design processes. In addition to using parametric technology as a tool to generate form, this article aims to discuss the potential of parametric design as a connection between theory and design activity, both in practice and in the teaching activity. To illustrate that, this paper will present results of a bigger research that used the work of the architect Christopher Alexander as a basis for the development of decision-making instruments that deal with the complexity between form and urban life.
