Parametric design is a computer-driven architectural approach that uses algorithms to optimise building designs for efficiency and sustainability.

Unlike traditional methods, it relies on complex mathematical equations to explore multiple design possibilities, leading to innovative and effective solutions. 

Although its origins trace back to Antonio Gaudi's work in the early 1900s, modern parametric design leverages AI and digital modeling to enhance energy efficiency, material selection, and waste reduction. 

Despite challenges like technological complexity and skill shortages, its potential for sustainable construction is significant. 

Growing demand for eco-friendly buildings and advancing AI will likely drive wider adoption.
