Intro Description & Structure
In an increasingly digitised world, the integration of parametric and data-driven design at various scales within the built environment is no longer optional but essential. This thesis cluster brings together research themes that explore the transformative role of computational design and data-informed methodologies in shaping the AEC industry.
While digital tools and processes are advancing rapidly, it is vital to examine their frameworks, workflows, and implications in architecture—the design and materialisation of human-made spaces. Students will propose and investigate how parametric and data-driven approaches can offer innovative solutions to contemporary challenges in the built environment.
Research may involve collecting, analysing, or generating extensive datasets to inform predictive models and optimise design outcomes. By leveraging parametric design and computational techniques, students can explore new ways to enhance architectural creativity, improve spatial performance, and address complex design requirements.
The thesis projects in this cluster aim to develop cutting-edge parametric processes and data-driven strategies for design exploration and optimization, leading to greater efficiency, adaptability, and responsiveness in the built environment.
