Design Patterns for Parametric Modeling
New tools and ideas for design

The Parametric Design Repository supports designers, educators and students in learning and using parametric design by sharing ideas, examples and projects.

By contributing, you help the design community in adopting and adapting new ideas in parametric design.

By visiting, you can learn what others have done.

We acknowledge the support of the Canadian Design Research Network.

Patterns

  • toggle ClearNames   
         Use clear, meaningful, short and memorable names for objects.

  • toggle FunctionComposition   
        
  • toggle GoalSeeker   
         Change an input until a chosen output meets a threshold.
  • toggle Grouping   
        
  • toggle Increment   
         Drive change through a series of closely related values.
  • toggle Jig   
         Build simple abstract frameworks to isolate structure and location from geometric detail.
  • toggle LinearMapping   
        
  • toggle Mapping   
         Use a function in a new domain and range.
  • toggle OrganizedCollectionofPoints   
         Organize collections of point-like objects to locate repeating elements.
  • toggle PathNameSpace   
        
  • toggle PlaceHolder   
         Use proxy objects to organize complex inputs when making collections.
  • toggle Projection   
         Produce a transformation of an object in another geometric context.
  • toggle Random   
        
  • toggle Reactor   
         Make an object respond to the proximity of another object.
  • toggle Recursion   
         Create a pattern by recursively replicating a motif.

         Select members of a collection that have specified properties.
