Parametric Design is Not Random: Rules Generate Variation

A parametric retail space where variation has rules. The walls or ceiling are composed of a series of identical components, but the size, angle, or spacing of each piece changes according to a continuous rule: gradually widening from left to right, or gradually tilting from the center outwards. Therefore, the image has both clear repetition and predictable variation, not arbitrary randomness. Avoid: having no discernible pattern in the variation of each component, using completely identical repetitions without any variation, having the direction of change suddenly alter midway, adding components that do not belong to this system.

一個變化背後有規則的參數化零售空間。牆面或天花由一整排相同的構件組成,但每一片的尺寸、角度或間距依照一個連續的規則在改變:從左到右逐漸變寬、從中央向兩側逐漸傾斜。因此畫面既有明顯的重複,也有可以預測的變化,不是隨意的雜亂。避免:讓每一片構件的變化毫無規律、使用完全相同沒有變化的重複、讓變化的方向在中途突然改變、加入不屬於這個系統的構件。
