Abstract

Parametric design is one of the most important design methodologies that provides designers with flexibility and creativity, regardless of the complexity of the design. With technological advancements, designers have been able to execute numerous complex organic designs through parametric design. Given the current global trend that supports sustainability and sustainable design, influenced by climate change issues and the importance of mitigating them for human survival, it has become necessary for designers to seek design solutions that align with the current global concept. Integrating parametric design with sustainability is one of the key approaches that must be followed.



This research is based on a collaborative study between the department of interior design and furniture, and the department product design, aiming to utilize parametric design to find alternative and unconventional solutions to design and implementation problems within the framework of sustainability. This was achieved through practical application experiments conducted in the courses of Structural Analysis and Form Technology in the Product Design Department, as well as Administrative Facilities and Presentation methods and techniques courses in the Interior Design and Furniture Department. These experiments were based on the concept of sustainable parametric design.

The research highlights the importance of parametric design and its capabilities in enhancing the creative aspect of sustainable design to support the issue of climate change and its mitigation. The use of modern applications and parametric techniques in design helps achieve sustainability by providing sustainable materials, utilizing clean energy, and reducing waste. New applications have been developed in the field of parametric design, emphasizing the role of both product design and interior design and furniture departments in promoting the concept of sustainability through parametric design and utilizing it to preserve the environment and reduce current environmental damage. Therefore, we recommend increasing scientific practical design experiments that support environmental issues and address current climate change challenges.
