  1. Time of parametric modelling: includes the time identifying the typologies, selecting modules and parameters, and setting the parameters.
  2. Time of manual adjustment: includes the time spent iterating for the best relative positions, modelling the surrounding environment, and modelling from scratch the volumes without corresponding parametric algorithms.
  3. Architectural volume number: includes massing typology volumes, building volumes without corresponding parametric algorithms, and surrounding environment blocks.
