| Abstract | Architectural education in its relation with computational technologies is both becoming a part of having the potential of renovation with the knowledge of emerging technologies. Digital modeling and visualization of architectural buildings has become the benchmark in the work of architects and is essential in architectural education. In this framework, this paper, will be presenting a joint Spanish/Egyptian design research workshop carried out between Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia (IAAC) and Egyptian Universities. The aim of the workshop was training Egyptian graduated architects for professional practice of parametric design by developing their capabilities in computational design process. A multi-day workshop was conducted outside of formal university course settings. In this studio, topics of parametric design and parametric modeling were interrogated through design process. Parametric modeling software and Generative Components were introduced. The architects were required to explore material properties in order to create 3 D responsive architectural shelter structures. In this design research studio held by students, the topics of parametric design and associative thinking are cross examined to explore their effect on the practices of architectural design and education by adopting parametric modeling as a tool for design representation. Results revealed that parametric design enhanced creativity within the trainees according to thorough evaluation. Also, it has improved their design process, bridged the gap between physical and digital model and enhanced their capabilities to modify and develop their architectural designs. Acknowledgment: We would like to thank the Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia (IAAC) and Egyptian universities for their collaborative input and technical assistance in training all Egyptian graduate students who participated in this workshop, and their involvement in the fabrication model work reported within this paper.
