As Patrik Schumacher has said – ‘Let the style wars begin’ and famous renowned architects have criticized parametricism as just a style rather than a profound architectural process of form-making or form-finding. Parametricism aims to organize and articulate the increasing diversity and complexity of social institutions and life processes. It aims to establish a complex variegated spatial order, using scripting to differentiate and correlate all elements and subsystems of a design. The goal is to intensify the internal interdependencies within architectural design, as well as the external affiliations and continuities within complex, urban contexts.

Contemporary architecture is addressing this societal demand via a rich panoply of parametric design techniques. However, we are confronted with a new style rather than just with a new set of techniques. The techniques in questions – the employment of animation, simulation, and form-finding tools, as well as parametric modeling and scripting, have inspired a new collective movement with radically new ambitions and values. This has led to many new, systematically connected design problems that are being worked on competitively within a global network of design researchers. Over and above aesthetic reconcilability, it is this wide-spread, long-term consistency of shared design ambitions that justifies the expression of a design process.

It has a very precise formulation and execution of complicated correlations between elements and subsystems. The sharped concept, computational techniques, and scientific logic that characterize this work are growing into a new paradigm in architecture. The parametric design tools themselves cannot play a vital role in this profound shift in style from modernism to parametricism. Aesthetic wise it is the elegance of ordered complexity and the sense of seamless fluidity. Which is parallel to the natural system that is the trademark of parametricism.
