Lesson 3: Tower: Advanced Parametric Design
Overview
In this lesson, you build upon the knowledge of parametric modelingby developing a complex associative design system in the form of awaterfront tower. The following exercises address a tertiary phase ofthe design process in which a developed layering of associationscreates a robust and cohesive parametric system. This layering of
associations allows for the iterative exploration of multiple designsolutions that meet the design criteria.

Lesson 3: Tower: Advanced Parametric Design
Constructing an Associative Building Mass
•The building mass is extruded from the outline of the site.
•Adjustments to the the positioning of vertices, edges, and faces, aremade to add additional detail.
•
Manipulate the sub-object levels of the mass until it arrives at a stagewith which you are satisfied.

Lesson 3: Tower: Advanced Parametric Design
Adding Parametric Control
•In order to explore variation more precisely, begin addingdimensional parameters, enabling increased degrees of controlthrough numeric input.
•The first dimensional parameter that you apply to the building mass is
a height constraint.
•Define a parametric formula associating the height control to otherdimensions, such as width.

Lesson 3: Tower: Advanced Parametric Design
Exploring Design Alternatives
•Using the initial parametric mass as an underlay, additional designoptions can be readily explored.
•For the purpose of producing iterations, a series of profiles can becreated using associative snapping, which constrains profiles to the
base mass.
