Abstract
This paper explores the integration of computational design methodologies with traditional handcraft techniques, focusing on the architectural heritage of Naghshe Jahan Square in Iran. The research investigates how parametric design tools can bridge the gap between modern technology and traditional craftsmanship, enabling the creation of site-specific decorative elements that respect historical aesthetics while incorporating contemporary design innovations. Through ethnographic studies and digital simulations, a parametric design platform is developed to support craftsmen in generating customizable designs aligned with the architectural context of historic sites. The findings demonstrate that computational design enhances creative freedom and efficiency, providing new opportunities for preserving and evolving traditional craftsmanship in a modern context.
