The work aims to investigate what can be the possible perspectives with the use of algorithms and digital tools in creative architecture, specifically in the process of design and shape control. Moreover, shapes are determined by size and, therefore, by numbers that, accordingly, govern all art forms, including architecture. There is always a relationship between architecture and mathematics, both in conception and transcription.

Nowadays the term parametric modeling refers to a computer-aided design process where digital representation and interactive computation allow designers to have complete freedom on their designs’ form and sometimes behavior. However, the term historically did not reflect such a freedom.
