In the latest episode of Dezeen Weekly, editors Tom Ravenscroft and Jennifer Hahn discuss parametricism, a style championed by architect Patrick Schumacher. They examine its origins, its claim to be the most significant architectural movement since modernism, and whether Schumacher's association harmed its success. The episode also explores the agency of architects using parametric tools and highlights key early parametric buildings, including the Yokohama International Port Terminal by Foreign Office Architects and Zaha Hadid's Heydar Aliyev Centre in Baku, Azerbaijan.
