Parametric Design asA Creation Tool forThe Memory Space

Purpose Thisstudy theoretically discusses the role of parametric design in memory-space design in contemporary architecture. Subsequently, it aims to strengthen the discussion by examining three structures with different interpretations of parametric design: namely, the AbuDhabi Louvre Museum in the UAE with its attempt to create social and cultural memory; the Yinchuan Museum in China, which has weak ties with its past due to political reasons, trying to re-create its ancient culture with its understanding of contemporary culture; and Istanbul City Museum, which uses parametric design to present the layered structure of its local and cultural memory, are the exemplary architectural structures considered. The three structures’ treatment of parametric design, their differentiations of parametric-based form creation methods, and their different ways of constructing cultural memory and space relationship through parametric methods constitutes the purpose of the research. Design/Methodology/ApproachIn the study, descriptive scanning method was followed, and an interview was conducted with Alper Derinboğaz, the architect of the Istanbul City Museum.FindingsThefindingsofthisstudyareindicatedastheuseofinformationasasourceofformincreatingsocieties’culturalmemories,theopportunitiesforculturalandenvironmentaladaptation,andtheflexibleunderstandingofdesignprovidedbyparametricdesign.Thesewerededucedinallthreeexampleswherenon-Euclidianandtopologicalformsstrengthenthemonumentalityofthemuseumstructures.Research Limitations/ImplicationsIt is the fact that the parametric design approach is just developing and the number of museums that have social and cultural importancein contemporary architecture may be seen as determine the limit of this study.However,the continuous increase in the number of samples may weaken this limitation.Social/Practical ImplicationsThe social and cultural effects of parametric design on the creation of memory spaces are discussed.Originality/ValueThis study is the first study that researching the cultural, environmental and formal harmony that parametric design provides in contemporary museum buildings.
