Who invented parametric design?
There is some debate about who invented parametric design. Antoni Gaudí's Church of Colònia Güell built from 1898 to 1914 is one early example of parametric architecture. However, the type of design came into popularity in the 1990s with the work of Greg Lynn, Jesse Reiser, Kas Oosterhuis and Lars Spuybroek. On 1stDibs, shop a range of parametric furniture.
