nobody? 

what the fuck is parametrical architecture??

google it

agbc, go to notre dame school of architecture

p.s. 'mdler' is a faggot

what the fuck is a 'faggot'?

The Frank Lloyd Wright School of Architecture

He He Alright I'll check these two!

Keep going guys...

Parametricism is touched upon at many universities, that does not however, always give it a central role within the various agendas that coexist inuniversities

The 2 examples stated are schools that simply choose to ignore parametrics. They exist in their own vacuum, which is why they suck.

agbc, if you don't mind me asking what do you have against parametricism?  All architecture is parametric whether you are utilizing recent digital tools or not.

I don't have anything at all against it. It's just that there are many different approaches to architecture. I think that in generative architecture computer has an overwhelming role upon the intellectual role of the architect. For this reason very often the focus is diverted away from some issues that i believe to be central such as the relation with the history of the territory, the correct scale with human being and the landscape, a well functioning program, a coherent use of technology and so on... I know this is not the only approach to architecture but is one and is the one that I like. I would also be interested in learning about parametric generative design but looking at the works of some universities it seems to me that (especially at research level) the only focus is on trying to imagine the wierdest meshes and the craziest forms... To be clear I prefer Aires Mateus or Carrilho da Graça over Zaha Hadid or Coop Himmelb(l)au

@ cashmere

I checked Notre Dame University's website.... Are you kidding me? I don't think you actually understood what i mean by parametric architecture.

At Notre Dame people is designing as they did in 18th century! I mean parametric not as in contemporay architecture but as in computer generated architecture! There is a very very big difference... for example Patrick Schumacher does parametric architecture, Renzo Piano does contemporary but  not parametric architecture.

The fact that I don't design generatively doesn't mean at all that I design lbuildings that look like from the roman empire!

i think you guys are confusing your terms...i think the op means computational design...scripting, generative design, rather than parametric design as executed with revit, etc. i'm a few years out of the educational loop, but as far as i can tell, there are a few schools that are overwhelmingly focused on generative design...aadrl, sciarc, that place in vienna, pratt seems to be going that way at least in part.  most other schools will probably offer some options in this direction, but will also teach other methods of design without veering into traditionalism.

if you have a good portfolio of work and the world is your oyster, find whom you would like to study with...look through the universities' faculties lists. there are many postgraduate programs that approach architectural from an urban design point of view (whether they call it urban design or not). there are others that approach it from a sustainable point of view. some specialize in housing, health care...etc. "parametric" design programs are,  i would imagine, few in comparison to postgrad urban design and sustainability (or even combines sustainable urban design) and other masters degree. i wont count theory and history since these are not design centric (althout i think McGill masters of H&T, i beileve includes an element of design). just look through university websites...you need not worry, there must be plenty.

or just apply to SCI-ARC's Emerging Systems and Technologies program

;o)

Check out the WAAC: http://www.waac.vt.edu/

It is Virginia Tech University, not the main campus, but a satellite one closer to Washington, DC. I just finished my Master degree there. Every technic is well received, they're not crazy about parametrics (rather the opposite, though).

And I loved the school!!!

good luck

They talk about it here a lot in the UO Portland, but you don't have to be into it at all to get in (I'm not at all and I'm here). I only learned how to use Rhyno and revit here, and have never touched grashopper, althougth there are a lot of people using GH here. Really, it's all about what your interestes are.
