1-INTRODUCTION 1.1-ABSTRACT

"We Shape Our buildings and thereafter they shape us " -Winston Churchill Theories help Architecture to evolve and transform along the way of time .The theory of parametericism tends to drift away from the basics of modern architecture such as 'form follows function','purity of form'.and 'Structural honesty'.The study leads an analytical approach based on selected parameters .The parameters are based on design considerations inclusive of space programming ,solar orientation and quality of view .The observation derived from the study helps in critical appreciation of theories of Parametricism through the works of renowned architects . The study shows how cultural programs and for sensitivity towards culture are integrated. There is a continuous relationship between topography, building envelope and interiors. Fluidity in form formation goes with the natural topography. It shows us how there is an interlink of parameters forming a web of information rich data which can be used to design and define facades for which are more environmentally responsive . Parametricism is a style within contemporary avant-garde architecture, promoted as a successor to post-modern architecture and modern architecture. The term was coined in 2008 by Patrik Schumacher, an architectural partner of Zaha Hadid (1950-2016). Parametricism is a global architectural style that has converged rather than being invented. Parametricism is architecture's answer to our computationally powered network society, representing a paradigmatic shift in architecture after the collapse of the hegemonic style of Modernism, in response to the global shift from the Modernist era of Fordism (mass production) to the Post-Fordist era (mass customization). The style continues to evolve in an increasingly complex and fluid network of global communications. Parametricism evolves with the advancing computational design and fabrication technologies. e.g. multi-agent computational systems, genetic algorithms and robotic fabrication. However, it is imperative to state that the emergence of a new style does not occur solely as the outcome of innovation in the technological arena. "The intelligence that is able to invent and think through such correlations is prior to its computational implementation. And, to a limited extent there can be "computation without computers".Despite the radical paradigmatic shift that Parametricism achieved in architecture, older styles of architecture continue to persist in the mainstream. However, it is the implicit (and in some cases explicit) aim of those working within the style of Parametricism to conquer the mainstream arena and see Parametricism evolve into a global best practice standard for architecture and the design disciplines.

1.2-BACKGROUND 



 

This Style falls under contemporary Avant garde Architecture and is a successor to the post modern architecture . Term "PARAMETRICISM" was coined by Patrick Schumacher in year of 2008 an architectural partner with Late Zaha Hadid( 1950-2016). Parametricism=Parameters (constraints )+Ism (idea) So its based on the constraints which are present in a parametric equation . The basis of Parametricism are computers ,programs and algorithms to manipulate equations for the purpose of design . According to Schumacher the system is a self referential system in which all the elements are interlinked to one another and any outside influence which changes one alters all others . Pametricism does not take up homogeniation (Serial repetition )and pure difference (agglomeration of unrelated elements )in favour of differentiation and corelation as key compositional values Main aim is to have a more spatial complex (while maintaining legibility ) This allows to translate architectural complexity of Contemporary life process in the global post Fordist network Society Fig1-The Kartal-Pendik master plan

PARAMETRICISM IN THE FORMATION OF ENVIRONMENTALLY RESPONSIVE BUILDING

1.3-NEED FOR THE STUDY The need for the study in Parametricism is to know how architecture needs to be reframed .The desire for new technology driven march of progress. In today's context we need to know how to incorporate the information richness of data we can acquire to have more efficient and environmentally responsive designs .The definition of a Parametricism whether it is a Style which is epochal ,subsidiary or transitional is need to be known.

1.4-Aim "The

aim is to study the use of Parametricism in the formation of environmentally responsive building skins ."

The main aim to achieve with the use of Parametricism is to make a building more responsive to the present scenarios and the environment in which the building is placed .The use of technology to have quantities in the parameters which are used to measure the parameter which is being used for selection is very important as only then we can measure how much efficiency in terms of energy efficiency and design has been achieved .

1.5-Objective    

To define a process for integrated design derived from programmatic and environmental analysis To understand the evolution of Parametricism as the next level of Post modernism. Building envelops impact on the surroundings To decipher a method which uses certain parameters for a particular project which become the basis for problem solving for that process and thus having the formulation of guidelines .

1.4Hypothesis The hypothesis to be attained is Parametricism as a solution for the future of architecture having methods in order to solve design problems with more efficiency and more expression. The very use of technology helps to get a variety of options and also saves on the time for a more efficient design .

2.0 CONTEXT STUDY 2.1.HISTORY Parametricism emerged as a theory-driven avant-garde design movement in the early 1990s, with its earliest practitioners - Greg Lynn, Jesse Reiser, Lars Spuybroek, Kas Oosterhuis among many others – harnessing and adapting the then new digital animation software and other advanced computational processes that had been introduced within architecture much earlier by pioneers like John Frazer and Paul Coates, but that only spread to make an impact within avant-garde architecture in the last 10–15 years. Schumacher has said that he believes the work of Frei Otto (1925 - 2015) is a precursor of Parametricism, as Frei "used physical processes as simulations and design engines to 'find' form rather than to draw conventional or invented forms. The inherent lawfulness of the engaged physical processes produced a combination of complexity, rigor and elegance that was otherwise unattainable. The power and beauty of this approach

Greg Lynn, Embryological House Early instances of proto-Parametricism, as manifest through the prolific generation of innovative designs and radical experiments within the transitional styles of Deconstructivism and Folding - including the work of the discipline’s discourse leaders such as Peter Eisenman, Frank Gehry, Zaha Hadid, Rem Koolhaas, Wolf D. Prix, Bernard Tschumi, and Daniel Libeskind -were later radicalized by younger practitioners who matured in the context of these early practices, and stabilized the discipline around prolonged research programmes thriving on emerging digital technologies, and culminating in the emergence of Parametricism.

Parametricism co-evolved with the global shift from the Modernist era of Fordism (mass production) to the Post-Fordist era (mass customization) of contemporary global society, and continues to evolve in an increasingly complex and fluid network of global societal communication systems. Parametricism offers advantages over styles that cannot (because they were never intended to) resonate and respond to the complexity and rapid fluidity of today’s society. Despite the persistence of styles such as modernism, minimalism, postmodernism, historicism and deconstructivism, a hard core of continuous innovation in research and building has stabilized around the new heuristics of Parametricism, and is continuing to proliferate the new style in academic and practice domains worldwide.

PARAMETRICISM IN THE FORMATION OF ENVIRONMENTALLY RESPONSIVE BUILDING

2.2Heuristics Parametricism offers functional and formal heuristics based on set of general abstract rules distilled from a very complex ecosystem of sustained avant-garde design research that spans over twenty five years of continuous innovative communication. Parametricism achieves elegance in both senses of the word â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it is unified (compact) and beautiful (vital). 2.2.1-Functional heuristics

The functional heuristics of Parametricism include both Negative Principles and Positive Principles that have evolved since the mid-1990s across many projects worldwide, and that together constitute unifying heuristics. The Negative Principles include the avoidance of functional stereotypes (i.e. prescriptive program typologies), and the avoidance of segregative functional zoning (i.e. impermeable separation spaces according to single function allocation). The Positive Principles include the networking of parametric activity/event scenarios, and the communication of all spaces, activities and events. 2.2.2-Formal heuristics

Similar to the Functional heuristics, there are unified Formal heuristics distinguishing Parametricism from other styles of architecture. The Negative Principles include the avoidance of rigid forms that lack malleability; the avoidance of simple repetition that lacks variety; and the avoidance of collage of isolated and unrelated elements that result in a lack of order. The Positive Principles include the intelligent information-rich deformation of soft forms; differentiation of all systems through gradients, thresholds and singularities; and interdependent correlation of all systems.

2.3- Parametricism through the times 2.3.1-Proto Parametricism (1952-1992)

Throughout his career, Frei Otto conducted research focused on constructing light-weight, tensile structures through form-finding physical models that performed analog "material computation". This work is regarded as the precursor to Parametricism. His design for the Olympic Stadium, Munich, built for the 1972 Summer Olympics, is a celebrated example of highly innovative lightweight tent construction, designed in collaboration with the architect GĂźnther Behnisch.

Munich Olympic Stadium (Frei Otto and GĂźnther Behnisch, 1972) 2.3.1-Early Parametricism (1993-2008)

Beyond the discursive paradigm shifts that led to the emergence of Parametricism, the ambition of the early built projects (1993-2008) was focused on adapting and innovating manufacturing and construction processes, upgrading the discipline's capacity to translate complex digital designs into constructible material assemblies. One of the earliest built examples, Lars Spuybroek's (NOX-Magazine) Water Pavilion (19931997), was the first building to utilize sensors throughout the interior, creating an interactive environment (also known as responsive architecture) where light and sound could be transformed by visitors. It was praised by the renowned architecture critic Charles Jencks as "yet to be surpassed" in his book The New Paradigm of Architecture.

Among the most critically acclaimed and stylistically defining of the earliest projects is the Yokohama International Passenger Terminal (1995-2002), designed by Foreign Office Architects, FOA, headed by Farshid Moussavi and Alejandro Zaera-Polo. The project was praised for its "inventive architectural methodology and socially conscious thinking". The project broke new ground, both formally and socially, enriching a prominent shared urban space.

Among the most celebrated and stylistically defining of the early built projects is the Phaeno Science Center in Wolfsburg, Germany, designed by Zaha Hadid Architects starting in 2000. The building opened to the public in 2005, and has been described as a "hypnotic work of architecture - the kind of building that utterly transforms our vision of the future." It won a 2006 RIBA European Award, and the 2006 Institution of Structural Engineers Award for Arts, Leisure and Entertainment Structures.

2.3.2Parametricism 1.0 (2009-2014)

The most complex and important built projects designed in the style of Parametricism were completed after the global financial crisis of 2008. Coop Himmelb(l)au's Dalian International Conference Center in Dalian, Liaoning, China, was completed in 2012. It has become "an instantly recognizable landmark" and "centerpiece of emerging Central Business District in the city of Dalian, bringing a parametric design to the edge of the Bay of Korea. The dynamically fluid, modulated vector field articulated on the exterior enclosure correlates the level and direction of natural light penetration to the organizational spatial distribution of the interior spaces. Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport Terminal 2 in Mumbai, India, designed by Skidmore Owings and Merrill and completed in 2014, serves over 40 million people yearly. The terminal is designed to accommodate traditional Indian departure and arrival ceremonies, and the complex veriagated patterns incorporated in the architecture at all scales are reminiscent of native regional patterns.

2.5- COMPARASON STUDIES 2.5.1CASE 1 - Guggenheim museum in Bilbao ,Spain by Frank Owen Gehry

The Guggenheim museum in Spain is the very first examples of Deconstructivism .The museum belogs to Solomon R.Guggenheim foundation . It is an example of modern and contemporary art designed by the Canadian American Architect Frank Owen Gehry .It was inaugurated in 1997 and its construction was finished in time and budget ,which is quite a rare type of scenario in such type of architecture ."the greatest building of our time " are the words of Architect Philip Johnson .The full aesthetic quality has been fullfilled by three materials which are limestone ,titanium and glass .The functional requirement decides where the material is to be used for example Titanium cladding is used for cladding galleries ,limestone for public facilities and glass is used to insulate both acoustically and thermally . The Museum is integrated into the city in terms of heights and the use of the materials ,also has a sculputral roofscape responsive to the city's undulating . The building is built around a centralaxis, it has load bearing walls and ceilings. In 2001 it received the Outstanding Structure Award. It is situated on a plot of 32,500 m2, of which 24,000 m2 are occupied by building. 9,066 m2 areas is devoted to exhibition spaces. The nineteen galleries and ten galleries follow a classic orthogonal plan and irregular shape and both can be easily identified from outside by their exteriors such as stone finish and swirling organic forms and titanium cladding respectively. Exhibition spaces are columns free which given flexibility in display. Architect is inspired by the shape and texture of a fish. Therefore, the museum can be said as ‘work of art’ or the ‘sculpture’ in itself. The museum exhibits the works by Spanish and international artists. The socio-economic impact of the museum was too deep in the city. After opening it became the popular tourist attraction with visitors around the globe. In the initial 3 years almost 4 million tourists visited the museum and generated almost 500 million in profit. Therefore, the "Bilbao effect" refers to how the museum transformed the city itself. Even today the Museum remains an iconic structure for its complexity and form.

2.5.2CASE-2: Heydar Aliyev Center, Baku, Azerbaijan by Zaha Mohammad Hadid

The building is designed by the famous Iraqi-British architect Zaha Hadid after the competition in 2007. She is known as “queen of curve”. She has received the Pritzker Architecture Prize in 2004 and the Stirling Prize in 2010 and 2011. She is internationally famous for both her theoretical and academic work. After graduating in 1977 she opened her own architectural firm in 1980 which was a big challenge. Frank Gehry describes the architect as "an extraordinary force of nature", while designer Donna Karan heaps praise on her "female sensibility" and "goddess's touch". Her thinking about spatial issues sets her apart from the crowd; her firm has 350 employees and has handled 950 projects in over 44 countries. She pushes the boundaries of architectural and urban design with new spatial concepts integrating the urban landscapes. She works in various fields of design ranging from urban scale to interiors, product design and furniture design. The building is designed for nation’s cultural programs and for sensitivity towards culture. There is a continuous relationship between topography, building envelope and interiors. Fluidity in form formation goes with the natural topography. Space frame structures are used for construction asthey provide column free spaces. It has incorporated urban fabric and tradition Azeri culture. The centre is designed to express the sensibilities of Azeri culture through the spaces and the builtform. The form of the centre merges with the landscape and its natural topography. The functional spaces and the built form are created by folds in a single continuous surface. The free flowing form has given an opportunity for interconnected cultural spaces. The building has become a signature landmark because of its innovative design and has created its own identity. Glass fibre reinforced concrete and Glass fibre reinforced polyester were used as ideal cladding materials. Architect has done studies on surface geometry for establishing the building in the given context. Lighting has been given a due care to merge with the fluidity within the interior and exterior of the building.

2.5.3-CASE 3: Parametricism by Patrik Schumacher

Patrik Schumacher and Zaha Hadid has explored the possibilities of parametric design. Parametricism is a new style after modernism, reveals in all scales from architecture, interior design to urban design. Parametric design is the latest development in CAD software, and refers to the inclusion of parametric data embedded within 3D objects (i.e., all the parameters, such as height, depth, thicknesses, weight, and even attributes such as model numbers and materials). The objective of such technology is to reduce drafting time caused by having to make multiple corrections and additions to multiple drawing files, which is common in regular CAD software, such as Autocad .Some of its principles are soft forms, communication between activities whereas negatives are lack of zoning, lack of repetition and rigid forms. Architects are able to do the in-depth study of materials, structure properties, form formation and so on with the help of parametric software. Before becoming up of this software architectural design was an evolution whereas today it has become a generative and reactive process. Such tools also bring complexity in design issues and require deeper understanding of geometry, mathematics. Schumacher added: ‘Parametricism is a fundamental rethinking of the primary constituting elements of architecture… It is not just one of many tribes, even empirically. It is the largest of the movements and directions [within architecture] and the only truly innovative one in terms of offering design solutions and in terms of making an impact on the built environment’.

2.6 CONCLUSION OF SAMPLE STUDIES Theories proved that Architecture is in a continuous process of evolution from handmade drawings to software drawing. Sketching plays a main role in architecture as conceptual designs are conceived during the initial stage only. There is a co-ordination in the development of deign between sketching and the thinking process but takes its own time. Whereas softwareâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s skips initial stages of sketching and are quite fast in delivery but requires sound knowledge of geometry and mathematics. For analytical study architectural designs of selected architects, few parameters have been established such as understanding their philosophy, ideas and inspirations, and aspects such as functional, spatial, structural, material, aesthetics, economics, user, socio-cultural and sustainability. But all these parameters change with time and technology available. Each architect has its own way of interpretation and analyzing various solutions for a single problem. Deconstructivism, developed since 1960, has in the advent of time, proved itself and is supported by very strong aspects like formgeneration, functionality, material and construction technology with structural logic. Whereas, Parametricism, on the other hand which is a new style developed since 1990s, has yet to be established in terms of material, construction and structural logic. The psychological and social acceptance by the users yet remains to be answered. Parametricim is the step ahead of Deconstructivism in terms of technology, geometry, mathematics, speed of construction and societal aspect. Sustainability and innovation plays a major role in both the theories and thus are avant-gardes of their time. The future of architecture lies in the hands of educators as to how they teach- interact with the younger generation and how the viewers perceive the architectural designs.

4- Case study 2- Chatrapati Shivaji Airport 4.1-Brief of case study Abstract The new Integrated Terminal Building a t Mumbai’s Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport combines international and domestic operations at one of the busiest airports in India. The 410 000 m2 building, being constructed at the site of the existing terminal, will achieve a capacity of 40 million passengers per annum upon completion in 2014. The primary design feature of the building is a long-span roof covering a total of 70 000 m2 over various functional requirements, making it one of the largest roofs in the world without an expansion joint. The Headhouse Roof, supported by only 30 columns spaced at 64 m in the North–South direction and at 34 m in the East–West direction, produces a large columnfree space ideal for an airport. By increasing the depth of the trusses near the columns and running trusses in both an orthogonal grid and a 45° grid, large spacing and cantilevers of 40 m along the perimeter are achieved with an overall truss depth of only 4 m. In response to site constraints and proximity of the existing operational terminal building, the mega-columns are also designed to serve as hoist mechanisms s uch that the entire roof can be constructed without tower cranes. The Terminal Building also includes the largest and longest cable wall system in the world. The structural studies completed include solid finite element analysis of connections to optimize material efficiency. Furthermore, the structural design prioritizes modular construction for economy and facilitation of an accelerated construction schedule.

4.5 Design Values The following pages present the values that have informed the design of the new terminal and the total experience we wish our customers to enjoy. Please take the time to reflect on them and consider how you might be able to bring them to life in all aspects of the project .

A Flexible Footprint The construction site of the new terminal building was located in close proximity to the existing terminal which had to remain fully operational during construction. This site requirement inspired the elongated X-shaped plan of the terminal, which could both mould around existing structures and incorporate modular designs to accommodate rapid and phased construction. This innovative form also allows for the consolidation of important passenger processing, baggage handling, and retail/dining functions at the centre of the terminal. On each floor, radiating piers permit the shortest possible walking distances from the centre of the terminal to boarding areas, while also maximizing the terminal's perimeter for aircraft gates.

Domestic departures Once passengers have passed through security and drop down to Level 3 they will enter the domestic departure lounge (SHA). Retail outlets surround a central seating area which will also have a selection of food outlets and retail kiosks located in it. Half way through the departure lounge passengers will be signed to the gates located to the North East and North West Piers. Passengers who are departing from the southern domestic gates will pass through the length of the lounge where there are located more shops and food outlets as well as a food court located against the South facade. International departures Having checked in, passed through security and emigration, passengers enter the International Departures Lounge (SHA) through a walk-through duty free shop. Immediately on entering the lounge, there is a fashion zone surrounding two niche food & beverage units. The departure lounge opens up with shops surrounding a central landscaped seating area encompassing a range of food & beverage units as well as a variety of retail kiosks. At the end of the lounge is a food court with seating overlooking the apron with further bars and restaurants on the exit from the lounge towards the departure gates

4.6 Site Plan Although the terminal is four storey's, interconnecting light slots and multi-storey light wells ensure that light penetrates into the lower floors of the building, acting as a constant reminder of the surrounding city and landscape. At dusk, illuminated from within, the terminal glows like a sculpted chandelier.

Design concepts used in the the interiors of the airport

The check-in hall leads to a retail hub - a common space that allows passengers to shop, eat, and watch planes take off though expansive, floor-to-ceiling windows. Centrally located at the junction of the concourses and the terminal core, these commercial plazas provide a focal point of activity in close proximity to the gates. Within these spaces and throughout the concourses, culturally referential fixtures and details, such as custom chandeliers inspired by the lotus flower and traditional mirror mosaic work created by local artists, ground the traveler to a community and culture beyond the airport. Regional artwork and artifacts are displayed on a central, multi-storey Art Wall, illuminated by skylights above. The prevalence of local art and culture, coupled with the use of warm colours and elegant accents, elevates the ambience of terminal beyond the typical, often unimaginative airport experience.

4.7 Roof Design of the Terminal The terminal's roof - one of the largest in the world without an expansion joint - ensures further terminal flexibility. The long-span capabilities of the steel truss structure allow for the spacing of the thirty 130-foot columns to be far enough apart to not only give a feeling of openness to the large processing areas below but also to allow for maximum flexibility in the arrangement of ticket counters and other necessary processing facilities.

4.8 Symbolism- A Gateway to India All international and domestic passengers enter the terminal headhouse on the fourth floor, accessed from a sweeping elevated road. At the entrance, the lanes split, making room for wide drop-off curbs with ample space for traditional Indian departure ceremonies. From the moment of arrival, the terminal embraces travellers. Above, the headhouse roof extends to cover the entire arrivals roadway, protecting passengers and their guests from Mumbai's heat and unpredictable monsoon weather. A 50-foot-tall glass cable-stayed wall - the longest in the world - opens to the soaring space of the check-in hall. The transparent facade also allows accompanying well-wishers, who must remain outside of the terminal due to Indian aviation regulations, to watch as their friends and family depart. "We designed an airport that is intimately connected to its surroundings," said SOM partner Roger Duffy. "By subtly incorporating regional patterns and textures at all scales, Terminal 2 resonates with a sense of place and serves as a spectacular symbol for India and Mumbai."

But just as the terminal celebrates a new global, high-tech identity for Mumbai, the structure is imbued with responses to the local setting, history, and culture. Gracious curbside drop-off zones designed for large parties of accompanying well-wishers accommodate traditional Indian arrival and departure ceremonies. Regional patterns and textures are subtly integrated into the terminal's architecture at all scales. From the articulated coffered treatment on the headhouse columns and roof surfaces to the intricate jali window screens that filter dappled light into the concourses, Terminal 2 demonstrates the potential for a modern airport to view tradition a new.

4.9 Canopy Design The panelled cells of the canopy spanning this new airport terminal in Mumbai was designed by American firm SOM to reference both the open-air pavilions of traditional Indian architecture and the arrangement of feathers in a peacock's tail (+ slideshow).

The check-in hall is located on the upper level of the four-storey terminal, directly beneath the perforated ceiling, which was created using glass-fibre-reinforced gypsum panels. This canopy is supported by 30 tapered columns that are punctured with similar recesses, creating a decorative pattern of openings that are infilled with coloured glazing to allow light to filter through the space. "The monumental spaces created beneath the 30 mushrooming columns call to mind the airy pavilions and interior courtyards of traditional regional architecture," said the design team.

PARAMETRICISM IN THE FORMATION OF ENVIRONMENTALLY RESPONSIVE BUILDING

4.10-A Hub of Energy Efficiency Terminal 2 uses a high-performance glazing system with a custom frit pattern to achieve optimal thermal performance and mitigate glare. Perforated metal panels on the terminal's curtain wall filter the low western and eastern sun angles, creating a comfortable day-lit space for waiting passengers, and responsive daylight controls balance outdoor and indoor light levels for optimal energy savings. Strategically-placed skylights throughout the check-in hall will reduce the terminal's energy usage by 23%. At Terminal 2, modern materials and technologies are used to powerful effect. But while cutting-edge strategies set a new standard for sustainable, modern airport design, the terminal is as much a showpiece of the history and traditions of India and Mumbai as it is an unprecedented structural and technological achievement. Rising from the Mumbai cityscape, Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport celebrates both India's rich cultural heritage and the country's increasingly global future.

A 900-metre long glass wall with a gridded cable frame provides the hall's facade. The decorative canopy extends beyond the walls to offer protection from both intense heat and monsoons, but also creates an area where Indian departure ceremonies can take place.

All parts of the building utilized repetitive, modular designs that accommodate construction phasing and permit rapid construction. Ensuring the stability of the individual portions of the Terminal Building throughout the phased construction was an important consideration in selecting the building â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s structural systems. Construction of Phase 1 began in 2008 and was completed in early 2012. By November 2013, both Phases 1 and 2 of the Terminal Building are expected to be fully operational, and at that time the remaining portion of the existing terminal l is to be demolished and construction will begin on Phase 3, the gate areas on the eastern pier. Upon completion in 2014, the terminal will serve 40 million passengers per annum.
