# Parametric Patterned Schools Format Elf Architecture Creates a Distinct Facade for Campus Netzwerk By Jamie Danielle Munro | Published 2014-09-03 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/format-elf-architecture References: [designboom](http://www.designboom.com/architecture/format-elf-architekten-formstelle-kantine-campus-netzwerk-germany-09-02-2014/) & [formatelf.de](http://www.formatelf.de/) Format Elf Architecture has updated the Campus Netzwerk design with a parametric pattern that can be noticed from a distance. According to DesignBoom, "[parametric design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-orb) is a way of generating ideas using mathematical algorithms based on a set of rules and parameters." Using this system, the architects have placed an interesting pattern on the outside walls of the Netzwerk campus. Up close one can see the [individual colored circles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wonderland-elementary-school), but from afar it looks slightly blurred. For a campus design, this facade is very distinct, and it's clear that Format Elf Architecture put a lot of work into the overall look of the school. Students are sure to be pleased coming to learn every day with this design as their backdrop.
