Procedural Components

Procedural Components

Procedural components differ from parametric components in that they lack an a priori topology. Instead each component is generated individually by a set of rules. The advantages of this method of working are in its ability to handle more loosely ordered input data and to produce components with topological variation. Most of the systems Kinch develops using these logics involve an ordering/search algorithm and an instantiation algorithm. This allows us the ability to integrate performative constraints into the development of the geometry. The disadvantage to this type of geometry in comparison to parametric component systems is that there can be a less linear or expected result in final geometry in relation to initial inputs.
