parametric design software: we love it

We’ve made a video on how we use parametric design software to optimise our designs. It’s an efficient way to compare design choices and their impact on the overall appearance as well as the amount of building material needed. We now use programs such as Rhino for quite a lot of our projects, for example the design of the bicycle bridges for the LA River project and the Nigtevecht bicycle bridge.
