Using the computer to design objects by modeling their components with real-world behaviors and attributes. Typically specialized for either mechanical design or building design, a parametric modeler ...

This project explores timber structural systems designed for reuse, focusing on parametric modeling and computational evaluation and initial exploration into physical prototyping or fabrication.

Until recently, computer-aided design (CAD) software was really only used by engineering companies who could afford to pay thousands of dollars a year per license. The available software, while very ...
