Methods of Parametricism in the architecture of children’s supplementary education facilities

The purpose of this article is to show the problem of design and construction of art schools in large Russian cities. The absence of attractive solutions of facades does not mark out the schools of arts from the mass of urban development. To solve the posed problem there are presented the possibilities of using the methods of parametric architecture for designing schools of art by computer modeling. By using unique room layouts, interesting planning the territory of buildings, unusual types of facades, it is possible to get children’s attention to such a type of schools, to motivate them to study here and to get new experience in their chosen field of activity. The authors examined the methodology of architectural design and the concept of parametricism as a modern way of modelling architectural space. We have analyzed some parametric design methods. Artificial intelligence and modern computer technology introduce a number of fundamentally new methods of parametric and compositional design. The application of parametric modelling methods is shown on the example of art school’s design-project to prepare children for admission to architecture or art high schools
