碩士 === 國立成功大學 === 建築學系碩博士班 === 101 === The term - ”Parametricism” was proposed on 11th Venice Biennale in 2008, which then became a wide spreading trend in architecture domain that influence the thinking of modern design. Today, a growing number of designers widely adapt the Parametricism Design in architecture and industrial design. By using programing logic, designers can generate various Parametric Designs rapidly. However, two critical issues accompanied with the design, they are: 1) How to evaluate the design?, and 2) How to integrate with construction? In the past, design thinking normally seems as a black box. Designers' personal aesthetic or design experience are used to judge the final results, but may lead to incorrect evaluation that cause consuming works on fixing design. Moreover, the lack of integrating design may also create numerous problems on construction. In this research, we defined “Design Criteria” by setting up “Fitness Function” accordingly. Then, we fix and review the performance of Parametric Design by cooperating “Feedback Loops” with performance evaluation and simulation software, and calculate numerous optimized solutions via computers. Finally, we determine the final design via human brain. The whole process aims to transparentize the black box of design thinking, and involve both aesthetic and performance into design. To the perspective of integrating construction, BIM is an integrating platform for building information. The platform integrates information of each stages in building life cycles, which may reduce errors while transforming building information between each stages, and minimize human documentation errors. In addition, building evaluation can also adapted in early stage of design to achieve the goal of sustainable and fix the design errors in advance. In recent years, together with Parametric Design and BIM techniques is a coming trend on solving problems in digital design. In the design context of integrating BIM and Parametric Design, the major issues we are going to discuss in this research includes: 1) Develop optimized design results via Parametric Design process, and transparentize the black box of design thinking. 2)Use BIM as an integration platform for building information, which form as an integrated performance oriented building design process. We discuss the decision and feedback mechanics between human brain and computer. 3)Discuss the method of developing optimized architecture design and Parametric Design through numerous design criteria and physical environment performance evaluation principles. 4)Discuss the problems need to be solved on BIM design process. This research target the project - “Continuation of digital design building in College of Planning and Design, NCKU” as the design proposition, and process the Parametric Design to find the optimized design. The used software includes: Autodesk Vasari, Revit, NavisWorks, Rhinoceros, Grasshopper, Galapagos, Geco, Ecotect and Geometry Gym.
