There has been no book aimed at architects and designers who wish to harness the opportunities presented by this software, until now.....\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book promotes parametric design. It integrates the theoretical research of computational design and Maya non-linear modeling techniques associated with simulation, animation, digital fabrication and form-finding within 2D \u0026amp; 3D design.
