Design Approaches of Parametric Kinetic Wall Systems: Innovative Architectural Solutions

Abstract

Parametric design is an approach that expands architectural practice and changes traditional perceptions. This method allows architects to balance functionality and aesthetics using algorithmic thinking in the design process. Kinetic architecture involves the design of structures and buildings that often move in response to environmental conditions. The use of parametric design in conjunction with kinetic architecture enables the design of buildings to respond quickly to dynamically changing conditions. This study focuses on buildings designed with parametric design and kinetic architecture approach. Its conceptual background is based on written sources, internet databases, analyses and photographs. Rhinoceros-Grasshopper, one of the most widely used programmes of the parametric design process, was used as a method. Parametric algorithms were used to design a kinetic wall with this program. As a clear result, it has been observed that the mathematical algorithms provided by parametric design and the ability of kinetic architecture to move can provide innovative solutions in architectural design very quickly.

Parametrik Tasarım ve Kinetik Mimari İlişkisi: Parametrik- Kinetik Duvar Örneği

Abstract

Parametrik tasarım, mimari pratiği genişleten ve geleneksel algıları değiştiren bir yaklaşımdır. Bu yöntem, mimarların tasarım sürecinde algoritmik düşünceyi kullanarak işlevselliği ve estetiği dengelemelerine olanak tanımaktadır. Kinetik mimari, genellikle çevresel koşullara yanıt olarak hareket eden yapıların ve binaların tasarımını içermektedir. Kinetik mimari ile birlikte parametrik tasarımın kullanılmasıyla yapıların tasarımlar, dinamik olarak değişen koşullara hızlı bir şekilde cevap verebilmesini sağlamaktadır. Bu çalışma, parametrik tasarım ve kinetik mimari yaklaşımıyla tasarlanan yapılar üzerine odaklanmıştır. Kavramsal alt yapısında yazılı kaynaklar, internet veri tabanları, analizler ve fotoğraflar temel alınmıştır. Yöntem olarak, parametrik tasarım sürecinin en yaygın kullanılan programlarından birisi olan Rhinoceros-Grasshopper kullanılmıştır. Parametrik algoritmalar, bu yazılımla kinetik bir duvar tasarımı yapmak üzere kullanılmıştır. Sonuç olarak, parametrik tasarımın sağladığı matematiksel algoritmalar ve kinetik mimarinin hareket edebilme yeteneği ile mimari tasarımda çok hızlı bir şekilde yenilikçi çözümlerin sunulduğu görülmüştür.
