I have debated with myself and friends over the legitimacy and practice of parametric design with "good" architecture.

It’s quite a bit harder to fold, unfortunately.
This morning we found, through a tweet from our friend @ digitag the work of Ron Resch , a visionary mathematician and designer who was one of first to explore the architectural potential of 3D tessellated structures in the 1960’s and 70’s. His work around paper tessellation is amazing and we can find his influence in the current works of Chris Bosse , FOA and many other architects that design with digital tools and parametric architectural forms.

Robbin successfully combines art, science, and mathematics. His quasi-crystal sculptures - based on quasi-crystal geometry - display exciting, non-repeating geometrical patterns. Quasi-crystals have paradoxical properties: They display non-repeating patterns; however, they are made up of identical, repeating elements.

Parametric Design for Sustainable Skyscraper in Brazil
Team: Patrick Bedarf, Tomas Kozelsky & Dimitrie Stefanescu. This Parametric Green design for Sustainable skyscraper designed by the team: Patrick Bedarf, Tomas Kozelsky & Dimitrie Stefanescu, for the Evolo 2011 competition. Their main goal was to push parametric design techniques as much as possible into an as experimental direction as they could allow.suckerPUNCH
Pedro Urano’s meditation on architecture and the human conditions is first and foremost a cinematic portrait of the University Hospital in Rio de Janeiro, a structure that uniquely embodies modernism’s utopic project and its ruin. Urano’s camera alternates between fluidity and stasis, juxtaposing tableaus of decay with the daily activity of a working hospital.
Third Place In the Hudson Yard area of Manhattan, this urban high rise farm introduces inherently political opposing elements; farmers (producers) and New Yorkers (consumers) through farms, workers housing, and market places.
