PARAMETRIC DESIGN: THE DEVELOPMENT OF ALGORITHMS FOR FURNITURE AND INTERIOR DESIGN

Abstract

This research explored the incorporation of parametric models into the algorithmic design process, specifically focusing on furniture and interior design. This research was conducted to explore and analyze the factors associated with using the parametric design method in interior design, with the main focus on the design and installation processes. Grasshopper parameterization modeling technology was applied to create, design, generate, and install. Adopting the parametric method was crucial because it offered a potent approach to efficiently generate designs by dynamically adjusting initial parameters and sequencing codes. This method allowed for the rapid creation of forms necessary for optimal design. The technology has been used widely in different fields, specifically engineering architecture, interior, product, and fashion design with several others, due to the advantages of computational and generative design methods. The core objective of this research is to provide a comprehensive set of guidelines and methodologies for individuals interested in employing parametric applications within furniture and interior design, facilitating a better understanding of this innovative design approach. This practical research divided method, thought, design, and manufacturing processes into five parts: data collection and analysis, design and development, experimentation, implementation, and delivery. Moreover, the experiment was used to explore the parametric design process with due consideration for the conditions, limitations, and design and installation processes. The intention was to determine the factors influencing the interior design, and it introduced a versatile parametric design approach that can be applied to various design tasks, highlighted the evolutionary trajectory of parametric design, and offered insights into its potential impact on future design practices.
