Abstract The work done, lays the foundations for a design methodology that connects the formal and structural aspects of an architecture passing through the parametrization of geometric shapes. To carry out the steps of the design method, the design of a steel pedestrian bridge was experimented. The analysis of the structure made use of the AutoDesk Structural Analysis Robot calculation software; the geometry was parameterized using the AutoDesk Dynamo Studio software (Robot plug-in). The architectural design was carried out using the aforementioned software, managing to connect the formal and the structural part of the project, reaching a focus on the forms of architecture that directly influence the structural functionality. The advantage in this type of design lies in being able to analyze a structure and assign different characteristics to it (from morphology to detail) in real time, managing to connect the project idea directly with a finished product.
