New essence of architectural skins: A comparative study between parametric and ordinary designed buildings

Abstract

This study discusses architectural skins in buildings with parametric design to verify whether they have certain limits, which is a great property of architectural skins essence in buildings designed in ordinary ways, or whether it is not easy to distinguish between the components of their architectural form.

The purpose of this study is to explore whether the new technology makes the architectural skins of buildings with parametric design lose their leadership of other components in the composition and presentation of the architectural form of the buildings, to allow the emergence of new essences for architectural skins of buildings with parametric design.

This process will be according to a comparative study with buildings designed in ordinary ways to examine whether technology changed architectural skins and made them losing part of their essence and role, by comparing them with the basic components of architectural skins essence.
