Over the last decade, 'parametricism' has been heralded as a new
avant-garde in the industries of architecture, urban design, and
industrial design, regarded by many as the next grand style in the
history of architecture, heir to postmodernism and deconstruction.
From buildings to cities, the built environment is increasingly
addressed, designed and constructed using digital software based on
parametric scripting platforms which claim to be able to process
complex physical and social modelling alike. As more and more
digital tools are developed into an apparently infinite repertoire
of socio-technical functions, critical questions concerning these
cultural and technological shifts are often eclipsed by the
seductive aesthetic and the alluring futuristic imaginary that
parametric design tools and their architectural products and
discourses represent. The Politics of Parametricism addresses these
issues, offering a collection of new essays written by leading
international thinkers in the fields of digital design,
architecture, theory and technology. Exploring the social,
political, ethical and philosophical issues at stake in the
history, practice and processes of parametric architecture and
urbanism, each chapter provides different vantage points to
interrogate the challenges and opportunities presented by this
latest mode of technological production.
