The question of Parametricism's “hegemony” has been a subject of lively debate among architects, who disagree over whether its design language—which is based on the scripting of variable stems though digital algorithms—may be considered a style whose signature aspects would be an undulating topographical field composed of modular geometric elements, or whether the digital modelling capacities that Parametricism relies on should remain tools for designing a more materially based and responsive form of architecture.
