The design commune has witnessed a tremendous inflow of new tools and technologies in the last few years. New software, platforms and even coding languages have infiltrated in the ever-evolving design process. Computational design emerges as one of the most powerful methods of designing in the 21stcentury. With this fairly new, yet dominant methodology, comes an array of tools and platforms for designers to use and exploit for solving the inherent complexity of design. Within this vast domain are many platforms that emerge with an open-source nature and continue to grow with an impulse by the global community of computational designers and programmers. A vast sector in the software development industry is focussed on research and development for creation of new parametric tools that can offer the impossible. Parameterization of design, process and data has been the core focus of such tools.
