Exploring Idea Generation of Parametric Concept on Industrial Product Design

Abstract

This research explores the use of parametric design tools, specifically Rhinoceros and Grasshopper, during the early stages of idea generation in industrial design education. By analyzing students' cognitive behaviors through experimental protocol analyses, the study aims to identify effective methods and measures for enhancing the conceptual design process. The focus is on improving the influence of sketching and digital tools in generating creative solutions. Results are expected to provide insights into the efficient use of parametric tools, streamlining the design process and enhancing the quality of design outcomes in education.
