The introduction describes the potential of using new technologies in the design of flexible architectural forms from the point of view of the parametric approach. In the second part, attention is paid to the definition of such a concept as the architectural form, function and design. The third part deals with the essence of reciprocity in a structural context. The fourth part is devoted to the application of the parametric concept to rotating high-rise buildings and modular roofs. The possibility of designing such structures in the Grasshopper software environment is investigated. The conclusion assesses the effectiveness of the submitted development.

Keywords: Architecture, construction, revolving buildings, modular roof, parametric approach, reciprocal structures
