46 Parametric Order 21 st Century Thinking Main Concerns

47 Influenced by Nature

48 Design navigates by pattern recognition. Frei Otto, architect

49 5. Informal Broken Uniformity the informal steps in easily, a sudden twist or turn, a branching, and the unexpected happens - the edge of chance shows its face Uniformity is broken, and balance is interrupted. The demand for Order(!) in the regimental senses is ignored: the big picture is something else. Cecil Balmond, architect, designer, writer

50 A+U Frei Otto. Olympic Park, Munich. 1972

51 Parametric Order 21 st Century Architecture Common Structures

52 1. Membranes The structural membrane acts also as the weathershield

53 2. Cable Nets A separate grid of structural cables supports a non structural weathershield

54 3. Arches, Vaults & Shells: Arch and vault constructions use little material and small mass when the form is generated by the inverted catenary, or for shells, the inverted net.
