PARAMETRIC MODELING

After Bentley's Generative Components, everyone is taking about the Grasshopper now. No, this is not the Cantonese 3 guys group from Hong Kong. This is basically parametric modeling, which is starting to become a hot topic in architecture and industrial design for complicated, sophisticated structurally sound design creation possibilities. I am not sure whether it will be the 'in' thing in the future, but certainly this is the hottest thing since BIM. It is capable to help explore exciting, wilder forms, facades and structures beyond your imagination and still buildable.
