PARAMETRICS

Parametricism is a new form of architectural expression made popular by the avant-garde architects such as Zaha Hadid.  Muchas has been made of the social responsibility and the digital imaging of the designs. Deconstructing is to deform a structure so that space, material and structure are forced into a new relationship.  How did all of this come about.  How does this respond to the urban fabric.  Please review the video, articles and text.
