Parametric design

La conception paramétrique est un mode de fonctionnement des logiciels de conception assistée par ordinateur actuels. Il s'agit de définir une entité par des paramètres qui peuvent être modifiés facilement. De cette façon, on change aisément la définition de la pièce.

(...)

Les logiciels de CAO paramétrique se caractérisent par la présence d'un historique. Cet historique est généralement représenté sous la forme d'un arbre reprenant les différentes opérations effectuées, appelées fonctions (feature en anglais, d'où l'appellation anglaise Parametric feature based modeler). Ces fonctions sont généralement créées à partir d'esquisses variationnelles.

Activities

Summer Digital Workshops 2018
2018

Join us for an inspiring summer under the digital sun and discover how to write code, to connect your projects to sensors and physical outputs, to build 3D models and print them, and much much more!

Code, Arts & Crafts : Blender advanced
2017

Following up to our introduction to 3D modeling in February/March, we organise a more advanced workshop on Blender for 3D printing. During these two Saturday afternoons we will be exploring tools and techniques for parametric and generative design.

MOVIOLA
2017

From March 6 until March 24 2017 Marcio Ambrisio is in residency at iMAL, where he will work together with Yacine Sebti on his interactive installation 'MOVIOLA'.

Code, Arts & Crafts: Blender
2016

Blender is a powerful, free and open source 3D modelling software, used for animation, video games, data visualisation or designing objects for digital fabrication. Join us during these two afternoons, and let's discover the basics and possibilities of Blender!

Generator.x 3.0 : from code to atoms
2012

This openLAB is the first masterclass on Digital Fabrication at iMAL. With an emphasis on forms generated by code, it will end with an exhibition of the works produced by the participants.

DorkbotBRU#9
2012

with projects by Aernoudt Jacobs, Duncan Speakman, Elise Elsacker and Yannick Bontinckx. 

Kinetic Pavilion
2012

Smart architecture is the future. This is what demonstrate Elise Elsacker and Yannick Bontinckx with their Kinetic Pavilion, a structure that can react to wheater conditions, human movements, social media and certainly much more.
