About this episode
We had a great conversation with Patrik Schumacher, the principal architect of Zaha Hadid Architects. At ZHA’s London Office, we discussed his approach to parametricism, parametric design, computational tools, artificial intelligence, education, and the future of architecture.
Many of us hear his name with the “parametricism” term; initially, In 2008, he launched a manifesto for “parametricism” at the Venice Biennale of Architecture 2008 and published an article named “Parametricism: A New Global Style for Architecture and Urban Design.”
