Representation of Adjustability and Interactivity in Architectural Space: Achieved through Parametric Design

Abstract

This paper examines how parametric design serves as a powerful tool to enhance the dynamic representation of architectural spaces, promote adjustability and interactivity, and encourage user participation in the design process to create engaging spatial experiences. Through a combination of literature reviews, case studies, and prototype representation of digital modeling, this research highlights the potential of parametric design in achieving these goals. It focuses on generating building component systems, facilitating interactive control of interior space changes, and enhancing human behavioral perception, all of which confirm the feasibility of using parametric methods to transform static architectural elements into interactive experiences. The results show that parametric design allows spaces to continuously adapt and interact, making spatial representation an active participant in the user experience rather than a passive object. This approach not only fulfills functional requirements but also anticipates and accommodates future developments.
