Parametrikus tervezés az építőiparban: fogalmak, eszközök, esettanulmányok = Parametric Design in the Construction Industry: Concepts, Tools, Case Studies

Since the end of the 20thcentury, computers have played an increasingly significant role in construction and architectural design. Throughout various design processes, numerous new concepts have been introduced—such as digital, computational, algorithmic, generative, and parametric design—which often overlap and whose definitions in the literature still require continuous refinement. The aim of this study is to present and systematize these concepts and to examine their practical applications through case studies. The paper discusses the most commonly used software platforms (Tekla, Revit, Allplan, Grasshopper) and their integration, with special emphasis on connecting parametric design with numerical computational environments. The case studies include the rationalization of a stadium facade cladding system, the supporting system required for the free-standing assembly of a complex building, and the implementation possibilities of a Grasshopper–Matlab data link. The study highlights how the integration of digital and computational tools can contribute to increasing the efficiency of the design and the execution processes.
