Post 8: Parametric modeling with PARAMA

I found this article to be intriguing because it tries to make a point and show all the all the aspects of why that is the best possible solution. Programming and the language of it has evolved over the years as well as the way mankind thinks. This evolution through programs like Parama gives designers the ability to take things to knew layers. In the past designers had to work in two dimensions and had to compromise their designs to take the time to try and redraw and try to communicate their ideas to someone else. The language of the designer of the ideas were too abstract sometimes to be thought of in two dimensions so a gap was created.
With the use of technology the language began to evolve to programs but even then it was just programs and vectors in three dimensions. Code essentially became more of a way to express oneself by being able to create things in 3-d but through the language of a computer to try to get a human to understand. Not to mention that the design was still limited as there are many types of computer languages. Some even have so much coding it is not possible to point and click but rather go and find the words all via typing. This thus creates further problems. The gap also lacked between computers and designers in that they would simply perform as they were instructed to and the designer would have to go in there and change the program for any small detailed changed.
Parama changed that though by having the ability to change the program and the design slightly to be able to compromise for the changes the designer made. Parama takes those specifications and constraints given and bases the design around them which gives the designer more creative aspects without having to compromise his ideas or working about going back and revising every little detail. The program is able to translate the ideas into a 3-d form which conveys more information than 2-d but also shows the design from many viewpoints.
Overall, in my opinion I think there needs to be a combination of the drawings by hand, click point program, and Parama program. Parama can essentially get rid of the first two but there is a difference in working on paper and getting down ideas and working them out to make sure you understand it first. I wouldn't want to jump into a program and not have any visual reference or written idea because I would want to ensure I understand and can explain the design to my client with insight, depth, and from different angles. Not to mention plans are in 2-d and while 3-d is good for modeling things on the computer, things for our time are still understood in 2-d. It is not until the language evolves as it has in the past to where it is now will 2-d fully become obsolete.
