Description
A small and quick example of parametric design. This model was generated with a scrip written in Racket and rendered in AutoCAD. Some concepts used in this project include randomness, recursion, higher-order functions and parametric surfaces and curves. I didn't quite know what to do in the middle so for now, although you can't see very well, I've placed a modified version of this: uhanam.deviantart.com/art/TraR…

This model, being parametric, allows several changes to be made without the need to re-write any code or model anything by hand. Simply by changing the parameter values I can change the number of waves of the roof, its inflection, the building height, the inner and outer radii for the roof and glazing, the number of pillars on the outside and inside, the roof thickness, the glazing divisions, the number of "people", etc. The position of the camera and its properties are also parametric.

The code took roughly one day to write and a little more time to create the render template in AutoCAD. The model can also be generated in Rhino without any major changes to the code.
