A Background to Parametric Design and Visual Scripting

Posted on 25 July 202527 July 2025 by Omotoriogun Victor

Parametric design and visual scripting form a methodological bridge between conceptual intent and structural performance. These tools encode decisions, by transforming repetitive modelling into intelligent systems that adapt to constraints and goals.

Structural Torsion in Asymmetric Building Design

Posted on 21 July 202526 July 2025 by Omotoriogun Victor

Torsion is a fundamental aspect of structural behaviour. In asymmetric buildings, it becomes a governing factor. It alters load paths, stresses, and deformation.
