Abstract

Parametric and algorithmic scripts and mass-customization solutions are perfect instruments for applying and innovating the requirement-driven approach which was developed in the 60s and 70s (e.g. Ciribini in I componenti nel “performance design”. Politecnico di Torino, Torino, Ciribini 1970). This technological method, which is antithetical to the typological approach, allows for performance evaluation and integration during the different stages of the design process (es. Grosso in Progettazione ecocompatibile dell’architettura. Esselibri, Napoli, pp 307–336, 2005; Chiesa and Grosso in Sustainable building for a cleaner environment. Springer, Cham, pp 285–296, Chiesa and Grosso 2019b). At the same time, it can guarantee a good flexibility and a high quality of design.
