Yes, the forms are adjusted via (architect/designer manipulation of the) parametrics. For that matter, all the parameters are input by the architect/designer.
The notion that parametrics is some sort of doctrinaire formula devoid of architect/designer input is somewhat unfounded.

curtkram, your last part, "they come from the site conditions and complex interrelations and such, but after the form is defined by those complex interactions" is the opposite of what Schmacher said. He said, "it is often our ambition to adapt the shape of our buildings to the complex site conditions they are meant to address," thus the shape (is that what you
curtkram mean by form?) already has some existence that then comes to be further adjusted by/adapted to site conditions (or not).

curtkram, perhaps you are more describing the way you use parametricism when you design. Some of what you say even describes the way I utilize parametrics (which I do on rare occasions at a very rudimentary level), but I don't think you at all describe the parametric design process that manifests the work of ZHA.
Also, parametricism is not just about the form of a design, rather it is about bringing the ongoing drawing/drafting of the design a minimum of degrees removed from the actual building/construction of the design.

The Importance of Precedents and Being Earnest
Here, I'll start a new precedent when it comes to "using" precedents: read Stella's Working Space.
And after that...
