Abstract

The objective of this article is to present how the postgraduate course in Parametric Design in Architecture was developed, focusing on a theoretical and practical approach aimed at enhancing technical skills related to form, materiality, and tectonics in spatial conception. The course adopts a learning methodology through action and experimentation, allowing students to create design methods supported by parametric processes, exploring technical, material, and constructive alternatives. The course is offered in a hybrid format, with an emphasis on in-person and synchronous classes, enabling the participation of students and professors from various regions, fostering an enriching dialogue among different contexts. The final project of the course consists of constructing pavilions at a 1:1 scale through the application of construction and fabrication logics. Thus, the main contribution of this study is to highlight how the creation of the course seeks to introduce new forms of innovation in the construction sector, stimulating emerging reflections and discussions in the field of architecture.
