Abstract
New architectural morphologies are the result of emerging generative/parametric design tools which can be realized through advanced manufacturing technologies. Powerful parametric tools can be used to produce variations in design, while maintaining the dependencies and relations between iterations. Among various generative technologies, genetic evolution (GE) and performance driven form seeking are two methods used by architects to analyze and optimize design solutions using parameter entry early in the design process.
