Abstract

The relationship between geometry and architecture is undeniable. This relationship extends from the idea phase to the implementation. This relationship is found in the graphic description, but also in the ideation and structural and environmental optimization. Geometry can be a tool, but also a strategy. The expressive shapes are fascinating, but they need a process of parametrization to be communicated, so that their materialization is not uncertain. The architecture of the twentieth century was characterized by the use of orthogonal systems. Other industries and designs explored complex configurations; Many objects and machines have adopted free shapes. Computer Design came late to architecture and construction; In the same way, Parametric systems are arrived with delay. In any case, this could justify the inhibition of some forms of extreme risk, but it does not explain the formal lack of definition of some projects of the 20th century.
