Module F3 of 9

Design with AI

AI-assisted Parametric Design

This module works the core of the design process: exploring alternatives, generating variants, and evaluating options against multiple criteria.

Parametric design has been restricted to those who mastered visual programming. AI changes that equation: the architect describes the system they need (a facade with gradient variation, a roof system responding to site geometry, a program distribution optimizing surfaces and access) and the implementing code is generated, tested, and documented.

On that base, the module introduces generative design: defining objectives (natural light, area, relationship with surroundings, approximate cost) and exploring a space of alternatives evaluated systematically. The result is a set of options with comparative metrics.

The module also works building a library of own parametric components, co-generated with AI, documented and reusable.

Deliverable F3: Parametric system co-developed with AI for a real element of the student's project, with generative exploration of alternatives evaluated against own criteria and visual synthesis of results.
