Design Approaches of Parametric Kinetic Wall Systems: Innovative Architectural Solutions

Parametric design is an approach that expands architectural practice and changes traditional perceptions. This method allows architects to balance functionality and aesthetics using algorithmic thinking in the design process. Kinetic architecture involves the design of structures and buildings that often move in response to environmental conditions. The use of parametric design in conjunction with kinetic architecture enables the design of buildings to respond quickly to dynamically changing conditions. This study focuses on buildings designed with parametric design and kinetic architecture approach. Its conceptual background is based on written sources, internet databases, analyses and photographs. Rhinoceros-Grasshopper, one of the most widely used programmes of the parametric design process, was used as a method. Parametric algorithms were used to design a kinetic wall with this program. As a clear result, it has been observed that the mathematical algorithms provided by parametric design and the ability of kinetic architecture to move can provide innovative solutions in architectural design very quickly.
