Parametric Design Tools’ Usage in Wooden Complex Geometry Practical A Case Study of Core Humanitarian Architecture Regeneration Project Co-Operative Construction

Abstract

The design workflow for Co-Operative Construction is no different from the general construction workflow the design however is still often limited by the team's construction skills and design software The premise for factory processed designs requires all the shop drawings to be first drawn manually and repeatedly the proofread before construction If the design is modified or revised a lot of labor and time will be spent on redrawing and checking the shop drawings Different from the previous CORE projects the 9th CORE humanitarian architecture project broke through the existing design schemes by applying parametric design tools to the Co-Operative Construction CORE project The research process for this research is based on the construction of the CORE project as an experiment For design development Rhino3D and Grasshopper3D are used The design materials are designed through parametric design tools and the construction team has been organized to complete them By reviewing the process this research will identify how parametric design tools can effectively reduce workloads and increase design possibilities The results of the 9th CORE project will be compared to previous projects to confirm that parametric design tools are indeed feasible for Co-Operative construction and that its advantages can be adopted by the project team Furthermore this study will establish an example for Co-Operative construction based on parametric design tools designed in complex geometric form with wooden framing
