About
Aims
The International Journal of Parametric and Algorithmic Design (IJPAD) serves as a premier interdisciplinary forum for the dissemination of innovative research at the intersection of computation, design, and engineering. It aims to advance the theoretical foundations and practical applications of parametric and algorithmic methodologies in architecture, engineering, and construction. The journal promotes a deep integration of data-driven processes, generative algorithms, and digital fabrication techniques, fostering a new paradigm of design that is adaptive, responsive, and performance-driven. IJPAD bridges the gap between computational design research and industrial practice, providing a platform for both established scholars and emerging practitioners to share cutting-edge developments.
