Parametric geometry: constraints before shapes
A parametric study should expose the variables that change a design and the constraints that remain fixed.
How to use this idea
In this Maha-authored arithmetic exercise, rectangular floor area is width multiplied by depth. Changing a dimension propagates to the schedule. A constraint is a declared rule such as a maximum study area, not an unverified claim about the local zoning code. Keep geometric feasibility separate from construction feasibility.
Worked illustration
A hypothetical 20 m by 30 m floor has 600 m². Reducing its depth to 24 m produces 480 m², a 20% decrease. This says nothing about whether either plan has adequate exits or a suitable structural grid.
All numerical examples here are synthetic, not measured building results.
Checks before relying on a result
- Declare units and the geometric simplifications.
- Reject negative or non-finite dimensions.
- Preserve rejected options and the constraints they violated.
What this does not establish
This elementary model has no structural solver and establishes no buildable form.
