dc.description.abstract | A common parametric design process relies on geometric rationalization in the early design stage. This reliance constrains the design process. Less explored are moments of post-rationalization in parametric design in response to technical glitches or imperfections. Santiago R. Perez defines this imperfection and its productive use, as ‘Drift’, or ‘loss of control’. This thesis uses Drift in a parametric design process to explore its potential to create diverse, dense housing that promotes post-rationalization by its inhabitants. In doing so, this thesis hypothesizes that imperfection within customization can support adaptations of individual dwelling choice and the specific contingencies of everyday living. | en_US |
