Abstract

parametric design was the entrance of‏ the designer to inspire from nature to‏ achieve creativity and innovation in the form of the product, It provides a modern tool that‏ enabled the designer to deal with the forms, especially the complex one, and enhancing the designer's‏ ability to creativity and innovation.‏ As a result, a new design style known‏ as parametricism has been emerged. It is a style‏ characterized by characteristics through the complexity and dynamics of its‏ curved lines, for its various components and elements.‏The aim of current study to know that to what extent the use of the parametricism can raise the functional efficiency of administrative buildings, by using modern administrative building as an example for modern parametric building through two approaches, first: determine the parametric properties for buildings that related to building design, technological systems used in the building, Building Management System, Facades and external surfaces design, materials for construction, lighting and ventilation systems. Second approach was studying the extent of users' satisfaction using surveys, sight visits, and visual inspection, the results from these surveys showed that users preferred to use the parametric building over traditional buildings, because the parametric building has higher efficiency compared to traditional buildings, and in particular to administrative buildings because parametric buildings help to obtain more comfort and privacy Saving energy consumption. Hence, the importance of parametric design becomes clear as a modern tool for designing buildings to raise their efficiency and make the best use of environmental resources
