What are some examples of parametric design in architecture?

1. Sagrada Familia, Barcelona by Antoni Gaudi: The structure's intricate and organic form was created through the use of parametric design, which allowed for the development of complex three-dimensional models and the analysis of various design parameters.

2. Guangzhou Opera House, China by Zaha Hadid Architects: The building's fluid and curvilinear form was designed using parametric software that allowed the architects to generate thousands of design options and optimize the building's structural performance.

3. Heydar Aliyev Center, Azerbaijan by Zaha Hadid Architects: The complex curves and undulating surfaces of the building's exterior were achieved through the use of parametric design, which allowed the architects to create custom geometric shapes and patterns.

4. The Louvre Abu Dhabi by Pritzker Prize-winning architect Jean Nouvel: The building's complex lattice-like dome structure was designed using parametric software, which allowed for the optimization of the structural performance and the creation of a visually stunning architectural form.

5. The Beijing National Stadium (Bird's Nest), China by Herzog & de Meuron: The building's unique organic design was created using parametric software that allowed the architects to design, simulate, and optimize the complex structural form.
