With the introduction of digital technologies and artificial intelligence as design tools in architecture, computer-aided design techniques and production processes have come to the fore, while phenomena such as parametric, algorithmic, and generative design with software offer new perspectives, openings, and transformations in design. Since the 2000s, the ability to easily create multi-layered and complex systems in virtual environments has introduced new dimensions to design. Today, the digital tools used in design and architecture can quickly produce flexible, customized, and verified design products. A parameter is a measurable, numerical factor that defines a system or determines its operating conditions and is a quantity that can be defined and modified for any situation. Parametric design, on the other hand, is a design method based on relational thinking that models a set of solutions, including many variations, rather than a single end product. Parametric design is a process that uses algorithms and mathematical equations to create designs that respond to changing conditions and parameters and is a method of creating complex, customized products and structures using algorithms. Inspired by nature, parametric architecture uses computer software to go beyond the usual geometric forms, creating aesthetic and sustainable designs with unique form features created from parameters, algorithms, and coding, establishing the relationship between the design objective and the final product to design, and realizing visualization in a short time with design optimization. As an algorithm-based method, Parametric Architecture transforms architecture with complex geometries and structural solutions, as well as remarkable and thematic approaches. The first part of this paper will define parametric design, its components, and its evolution throughout history. It then examines the phenomenon of parametric design in architecture and how it differs from traditional architectural design. The possibilities of parametric architecture, its contributions to original building design, environmental design, and functional and aesthetic spatial design will be evaluated through international examples. In addition, the possibilities of parametric architecture, its contributions to original building design, environmental design, and functional and aesthetic spatial design will be evaluated in the context of international examples.
