Whereas "to give visual form to the city is a special type of design problem and, moreover, a relatively recent problem," as Lynch says, it is natural and legitimate for the latest advances in digital technologies applied to the project, which in which fit the parametric design tools, have approached both the architecture and urbanism in recent years, and in particular the processes of urban design.

Parametric urbanism could build a more systemic approach, considering the urban design not as a product derived exclusively from the shape, function or environment, but as a product of relationships between the various elements of a more complex system that is the town itself, composed of places and individuals, among others. The parameters of form, function and environment must be interrelated to the configuration parameters of the space.

We hope it has shed a tiny light on one of urban design near futures 🙂🙂

Hello everyone 👋👋 welcome to biography Wednesdays 😊

ALISON BROOKS, founder and creative director of Alison Brooks Architects London, is known as one of the most interesting architects of her generation. She was born in Ontario, Canada and finished her studies in architecture at the university of Waterloo.

Brook's architecture has been described as "a late flowering of the most elegant and sensuous modernism". Her architectural approach emerges from broad cultural research, with each project expressing a specific response to place, community and landscape. She is particularly known for designing intelligent and beautiful houses but has also moved into the cultural sector.

Here are some of the projects designed by Alison Brooks Architects

The Smile

This was a hugely successful landmark project for the 2016 London design festival: a public pavilion that showcased the structural and spatial potential of cross-Laminated hardwood.

The design straddled architecture, sculpture, and public art. It could be described as an unidentified flying object: a 34m long, 3m high upside down arc poised on the urban horizon. Discovering a dynamically curved space that gradually rises toward light, The Smile created an immersive sensory environment integrating structure, surface, space and light.
