In the architectural field, two lines of designs have been developed, such as advanced architecture and parametric architecture, which have undoubtedly paved the way for the increase in creative designs in current buildings.

When we talk about advanced architecture, we must understand it as one that bases its designs on the use of the characteristics and properties of structures, organic, bionic or biomorphic systems, among others.

This information is used in conjunction with computer processes to create efficient and highly stable architectural structures.

On the other hand, parametric architecture is based on using software and calculations to create construction works with differentiated architectural characteristics, taking some local parameters as a reference.

In this article we will touch on some particularities of these architectural models; as well as the types of construction solutions based on EPS that can be used to achieve efficient constructions under these trends.

Differences between advanced architecture and parametric architecture

Although both models require the support of computer programs to carry out the architectural designs, their main difference lies in the source of inspiration to create these models.

As mentioned above, in advanced architecture, designs inspired by systems present in nature prevail. 

This allows the design of executable works that will not necessarily be architecturally relevant, since functionality generally tends to prevail over creativity in design development.

However, parametric architecture emphasizes more on the study of various elements present in the environment. For example, the solar cycle or the winds of where the work is going to be executed, to later convert them into parameters through software.

In this way the architect can be guided to create designs that challenge the limits of the imagination, expanding the architectural possibilities.
