Conceptual Manipulation from Design to Production-Case Study of the Winner Project at Optima+ International Competition & Digital

Abstract

The main goal in this paper is highlighting computational parametric  form generating tools dominance on the contemporary design to production process , and how it affects the designer aesthetical and functional decision ,by analyzing the ability of conceptual manipulation through the design process to the last production stage and testing the design process Parametricism  ,while maintaining the design initial specifications , also discussing the accompanying design methodology choice between form making and form finding and how far can the designer use benefits of both methodologies  through the case study of the winner project of the  International digital fabrication workshop & competition (Optima +)
