RECENT HISTORY: CODE
Brief timeline of code as creative practice:
Early WWW tech (HTML, JS, ActionScript) givescreatives a taste for code, randomly producesNet Art and early code experimentation
1995: Maeda at MIT, Aesthetics and ComputationGroup
2001: Processing, part of explosion of codingtools, created by artists, for artists
A new understanding of code as a creativepractice in itself gains momentum

RECENT HISTORY: CODE
Outcome:
Multiplying of code-enabled practices: Infoviz,custom hardware, interactive installations,fabbing
Inevitably: Creative coding (ca 2005) asbankable creative skill
Adopted by design and ad agencies as futuristicstyle, way to produce new branded experiences

RECENT HISTORY: ARCHITECTURE
Meanwhile, in architecture:
Parallel evolution (isolated but connected)produces parametric model of architecture
Scripting becomes major feature in CAD tools
New class of spatial tectonics, from the subtlyorganic to the bizarrely baroque
Also: Custom software enables optimization,
customization, models based on environmentalsimulations

RECENT HISTORY: FABBING
Physical space becomes final digital frontier:
Ubiquity of digital interfaces to industrial tools
Democratization of access, lowered costs
Rise of the Maker movement
Online fab services: Shapeways, Ponoko
Lo-fi desktop 3D printing (RepRap, Makerbot+++)
Next: Commercialization, consolidation, battle formarket share

WHY THIS IS RELEVANT
This course will explore ideas that now seemsomewhat obvious, but were all but unimaginable adecade ago.
Furthermore, these ideas are in a state of constant
flux, based on technologies and market mechanismsthat are barely out of beta.

PARAMETRIC MODELING
Definition:
The description of a model or form as a form-generating system, controlled by defined parametersand executable by a computer. Typically involves
generative systems, simulation, data as input etc.
Aka: Computational design, generative art,parametricism etc.

PARAMETRIC MODELING
Key concepts:
Separation of form-generating logic and theparameters that produce a specific form
A type of meta-design: Design the process, not
the specific object
Systems become parameter spaces of possibleoutputs, to be explored and harvested, oftenproducing unexpected results

PARAMETRIC MODELING
Advantages:
Computational power allows for great formalcomplexity from simple rules
Model is instantly generated on-demand
according to given parameters
Interactive parametric control
May use semi-autonomous design tools
Allows for mass customization of objects

PARAMETRIC MODELING
Advantages:
Data and other input can be used
Craft techniques can be applied to produceunusual forms
Potential automation of production workflow forbespoke design objects (ex. web app > 3D printservice > ship to customer)

MY OWN WORK

7/29/2019 20130906 ITP Parametric - Introduction - MWatz
50/117
MY OWN WORK
Object-making through code:
Frustration with screens as mediating mechanism
and lack of physical presence + growing interest
in spatial structures
Experimentation with digital fabrication toproduce physical objects as direct extrusion /
translation of software processes
Result: 3D printed objects, CNC drawings,
parametric sculpture, rule-based light
installations, tape drawings based on projected
images

MY OWN WORK
Side-effects:
Material qualities and fabrication artifacts
become integral aspects of the work
Choice of materials and tools as new parameters
for manipulation
