This book is an approachable guide for students and professionals to learn parametric modelling through the lens of architectonics, allowing readers to pair fundamental ideas about architecture with parametric thinking. Architectonics and Parametric Thinking begins by clearly positioning the potentials of parametric design through a series of chapters written by leaders in their respective industries. This helps to situate the vast potential of parametric software, allowing the reader to understand the full range of what is made possible by working computationally. The book presents a manual that walks readers through the step-by-step construction of parametric modelling scripts built through an architectonic lens using clear, compelling diagrams. Written and expertly designed for architecture students and professionals, this book provides an interactive approach to teaching the basics of parametric thinking in relation to architecture and design.
