Smart Geometry

If you think spiritual geometry is interesting, how about smart geometry? Smart Geometry is another way of describing parametric design, an approach that uses complex graphical software to link geometric dimensions and variables. When values change, the architectural model is reconfigured, algorithmically. Whew!

The SmartGeometry research group says that parametric design will revolutionize the way we build, allowing designers to create seemingly impossible "what-if" alternatives. From the looks of experimental models, I have to agree.
