Interactive Modules Using Parametric Design: A research study on how parametrically designed, prefabricated modules encourage interactivity and creativity within an urban context

This research proposal examines prefabricated modules as a tool to encourage interaction and creativity within an urban context. The design is contrived from a modifiable kit of parts, which promotes playful assembly and proactive engagement. To assist in these goals, the module is realized in the generative and parametric temporal software known as Grasshopper and Rhino 3D. These softwares act as a multi-faceted tool and design strategy that boosts iterative thinking and user-agency. The process produces individual adaptable panels that are combined and reconfigured to accommodate the user's specific needs. Overall, this proposal investigates the possibilities of parametric design to produce accessible modules that are modified through user experience to foster creativity and interaction.
