N2 - This paper describes a unique coupling of an architectural urban design studio with an in-depth digital media course in order to explore new ways of architectural expression, form finding and communication. It reports on the variables, goals and outcomes of this design studio as well as its integration of digital parametric design that allowed the participants to create innovative urban design language, based on parametric descriptions. The paper portrays the educational approach; the way parametric computer design tools have been introduced, as well as the process and outcomes of the studio. It discusses implications on design education as well as understanding and communicating of complex design tasks that are responsive to a variety of parameters.
