Parametric design is a process that sets up the structural geometry of a project through parametric modelling techniques. The simple definition of parametric design is shapes and forms that have a curving nature. This has been brought to us by the principal architects Ar. Seeja Sudhakaran and Ar. Khushbu Davda of Studio Emergence<\/a>. The architects believe that architecture is a tangible work of art, we live in it and experience it around us like no other medium, and material plays a big role in it. The studio deals with parameters ranging from the program, site context, user requirements, environmental factors, material technologies and construction. This allows them to constantly aim to push the boundaries of what they are able to do with contemporary technology.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

How did you lay the foundation for Studio Emergence? What inspired you to pursue parametric design? Being one of the first movers in our country in this field, what were the advantages and what challenges did you come across?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The start was organic for us. We are very passionate about material research, prototyping and conducting workshops & talks. The studio gradually came into being from all the work we started taking up during that phase. The next natural thing for us to do was to lay the foundation of the studio. It is a blessing to see our efforts take fruition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When we first started advocating about Parametric Architecture, we were often met with scepticism; even seasoned and successful individuals in the industry were not aware of this. People were excited about the idea of computational design, but still considered it conceptual or something that happens in the West. The biggest challenge was to show that parametric design can fit in the Indian context seamlessly. Being one of the thought leaders in this stream has definitely helped us grow. We made sure that we stuck to our ideologies and the rest of it fell into place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You have successfully completed your first international project. What was the difference in the design process and execution between India and Dubai?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Honestly, for us, design is all about the context. We believe in parameter-based design, and designing in Dubai gave us a varied context to work in. The office interior design is reminiscent of the sand dunes in its surroundings; it reflects the muted colours of the desert yet represents the vibrancy of the undulating sand dunes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The execution process was quite different compared to what we have here. In India, we thrive in chaos and amidst this chaos is how we make things happen wonderfully. As opposed to this, the construction process is quite streamlined in Dubai, things have a set place and processes are followed thoroughly. The drawback with that is it takes longer for things to happen, more often than not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
