Form is Function: New Comprehension through Parametric Architecture

While form and function are distinct elements in the design, they share an inseparable correlation. The form, in conjunction with the architectural space, embodies its intended function; the form itself is the function and structure of the architecture. In parametric design, the relation between form and function becomes closer. Functional requirements often direct the form with parameterization according to the needs and conditions presented or given as parameters. This paper explores the concept of Form is Function in the context of parametric architecture, examining how parametric design challenges conventional notions and offers new comprehension of the relation between form and function. The paper analyzes case studies and theoretical frameworks to illustrate the innovative possibilities that parametric architecture introduces for form-function integration and its implications for contemporary architectural design
