Our Articles section brings together long-form writing on architecture, features that move beyond the quick update to examine projects, ideas, and practices in depth. Here, we look at how architects work with materials, experiment with form, and rethink typologies in response to today’s challenges.
Each piece blends research and critique, offering context behind a project’s design process, structural logic, and spatial ambition. From case studies of experimental housing and landmark museums to essays on digital fabrication, adaptive reuse, and construction innovations, these articles provide insight into how the discipline is evolving. For readers searching for thoughtful architecture analysis, project deep-dives, or perspectives on design trends, this section is where architectural discourse takes shape
The demand for new-age, modern architectural designs is rising as urbanization is going more global. Nowadays, designers and architects are constantly pursuing architectural forms based on advanced digital technology. But is it required only to explore parametric design through modern material? Can we create an environmentally sound footprint by including parametric design techniques in our approaches? The current need of the hour is bending traditional values by integrating a significant amount of vernacular architecture with parametric and computational design to achieve a holistic design approach.
There are many fantastic design tools and software that can help towards the creation of properties, both commercial and residential. Whether it’s building these homes from scratch or conducting renovations, 3D design software is changing the property building industry as we know it.
Swarming Colonies is a generative design project and is one of the projects to come out of the DIGITAL ECOLOGY– GENERATIVE CITY studio workshop by PAACADEMY and tutored by Soomeen Hahm and Hanjun Kim. Designed by two talented students, Simina-Ioana and Deeksha Basawaraj, the project is rooted in a synergy of traditional Indian and Romanian patterns derived from traditional architecture of both countries and is envisioned within a dying coniferous forest situated in a post apocalyptic world by Simina- Loana Dimcea and Deeksha Basawaraj.
In the new age where parametric architecture and computational design methods are seeing rapid inclusivity, the blend of stone architecture in this phenomenon is also catching the global eye. The core reason behind it is the dynamic forms this blend can achieve.
As Jean Nouvel rightly said, “Each New Situation Requires a New Architecture”, Parametric is the future, it truly is – The possible refinement of the design processes powered by digital processes has led to a rethinking of an engineer’s or designer’s approach to various application areas. Prototyping in architecture, parametric modelling software, and designing have all seen exquisite approaches in recent years that have come to be known as ‘Parametric Design.’

Paper and sketching have been a constant medium for artists to enunciate their thoughts, visions, ideas, emotions and inspirations. This constant medium has been engrained into different aspects of art, where it gave one a blank canvas to physically manifest these different thoughts and ideas.
Grasshopper 3D was created in a perspective to extend in those area where Rhino 3D could not!
Parametric architecture has been the trending term in the 21st century. Considered as one of the sought after solutions for futurist design problems, parametric design and computational methods have created a long-lasting impact on the design industry. Society has always looked towards nature for design inspiration and has sought to take inspiration from the naturally occurring forms through basic geometric shapes.
