Parametric architecture, as one of the significant design approaches in the contemporary era, has paved the way for diverse and creative designs in the production of new forms for architects and urban designers. Despite the valuable results and potential of parametric architecture, we observe the formation of uncoordinated designs or poorly connected with the design context in some examples. The present study was conducted to identify and assess the dimensions of the parametric architecture model based on cultural contextualism. The method of this study in the first step is library research and literature review related to the primary fields of research to identify the criteria, components, and dimensions for building the model. In the second step, ISM approach and MICMAC analysis were used to level and identify the relationships and evaluate the degree of determining power of each dimension. Based on review of related literature, a model consisting of 44 criteria, 20 components and 9 dimensions was developed. The results of the ISM approach indicate that the relationships between variables can be distinguished at three levels. At the basic level of the dimensions of the desired model, the dimension of "Rule-based designing in accordance with the cultural context" can be observed. Thus, creating systematic structures and combining technical elements with cultural elements is a fundamental principle in reaching parametric architecture based on cultural contexts. For this purpose, cultural patterns should be integrated with mathematical and geometric relationships in such a way that cultural themes can be expressed in the regular geometric forms and complex geometry forms using computational methods
