Connected Speech & Natural Conversational Flow
When "parametricism" is followed by a word starting with a vowel, glide the final consonant into the opening vowel (e.g. "parametricism is" sounds like "parametricism-iz").

Definition & Meaning: “parametricism”
- An avant-garde, computer-aided style of architecture and urban planning in which (the functions of) spaces are considered parametrically variable (dynamic) rather than static.
Example Sentences (2)
- “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.”
