Abstract

This thesis examines in what way designers should reassure that the use of parametric design can be switched from esthetical purposes to problem-solving purposes for future global challenges throughout Zaha Hadid Architects’ historical approaches and developments. In order to find the answer to the research question, it is important to know how parametric design has been approached in the past, especially from Zaha Hadid Architects’ perspective. Thereafter, to find out in what way parametric design has developed over the years. At last, to know how parametric design could be used for environmental and societal matters by proposing new guidelines for the usage of parametric design. This research shows that in order to reassure those ambitions, it is important to change the parametric design intent into a more environmental and society focused process to get a more sustainable and social parametric design result.
