Is Tectonism the next evolution of Parametric Design? In our latest NORR ed lecture, Patrik Schumacher, Principal at Zaha Hadid Architects, introduces Tectonism as an emerging paradigm poised to unlock more sophisticated design solutions. Schumacher advocates for this new form of Parametricism—an approach that merges advanced computational techniques with algorithmic processes to create fluid, complex forms. Tectonism builds upon these foundations in part by integrating Artificial Intelligence, enabling designers to model natural phenomena and incorporate data into both virtual and physical environments. Evident in Schumacher’s work, this paradigm shift not only pushes the boundaries of digital tools and materials but also opens new possibilities for the future of architecture and structural engineering. Don’t miss the full presentation—discover how these ideas could reshape the industry. https://lnkd.in/gMia3vKq Patrik Schumacher, #NORREd #NORR #PatrikSchumacher #ZahaHadidArchitects #Tectonism #Parametricism #Architecture #StructualEngineering #ArtificialIntelligence #FutureOfDesign
