Toward Object-Oriented knowledge–Based Parametric Design Thinking

The parameter, as a variable of differentiation, definesthe limits and boundaries of a system and the conditionsfor its operation. It is through parameters that we areable to produce certain logical relationships betweendifferent parts in design procedure. Fundamental to this,however, is the assumption that the object or phenomenawe are modeling is in fact quantifiable. Advances incomputational processing have promoted our capacity,and thus faith in the ability, to systematically classifyand itemize the world around us. The ParametricismManifesto concerns itself solely with appearance and arejection of the term Parametricism in certain levelscould be clearly visible within the contemporarydiscourse of Object-oriented and knowledge-basedapproach that reflects the cognitive attitude of thedesigner/architect regarding the object-orientedreasoning1 and analogy.Moreover, instead of having parametric manifestationalternate terms such as digitally intelligent design , algorithmic design, object oriented design , Contextoriented design , Parametric thinking , and even postparametricdesign have arisen and could be used todescribe this vastly differentiated field. What thesedesign theories do share, however, is a predilection andbelief in the tool. Nowadays the project fields areinformation-rich contexts and the tool sets for design areable to interpret, analyze, synthesize and realize thesedata into the design procedure. This research mainlyaims to uncover potentialities of the existing enablersand assistive technologies in context oriented design inorder to have more content-embedded architecturalconceptualization solutions
