Daley (Eds.). Parametricism vs Materialism : Evolution of digital technologies for development. Imperial House Publishers

We build on previous technological developments in CAAD by looking into parametric design exploration and the development of the concept of parametricism. We use the phenomenological backdrop to account for our physical experiences and encounters as... Read More about Parametricism vs Materialism : Evolution of digital technologies for development.

The paper reports the ongoing project which investigates the notion that familiar interaction forms the basis of embodied interaction, which, in turn, triggers the sensors providing them with an input and, therefore, resulting in an output that refle...
