Abstract

In a trend of urbanization, population lives in cities. These citizens want to live in a good urban life. For their good lives, urban environment as their living areas is filled with buildings. so facade pattern designs as one of visual elements of architectural facade have been considered and demanded in an artistic perspective of architecture. In designing architectural facade, designers and architects need to have an inspiration or its various and creative idea provided in a short time in their schematic design phase. Therefore, this research aims to develop design methods and their Grasshopper algorithms for parametric facade pattern design based on Swarm Intelligence, which is used in the field of Biomimicry, which is one of elements and attributes of Biophilic Design and a field of making it possible for efficient and artistic results to be produced by structural orders and principles from nature. The detailed objectives of this research are first, theoretical review for facade parametric pattern design, and Biomimicry and Swarm Intelligence, second, building a logical structure to produce data corresponding to each flocking behavior’s rule, and third, developing design methods and Grasshopper algorithms for Swarm Intelligence-based parametric facade patterns, representing parametric facade pattern designs, and comparing and analyzing with previous research’s algorithm. The study is focused on only introduction of Swarm Intelligence-based parametric facade pattern design’s methods and Grasshopper algorithms, display of pattern design examples, which are previous steps of applied to architectural facades. This research means to define a basic Grasshopper algorithm based on Swarm Intelligence in order to develop detailed design methods of parametric facade pattern designs and help designers and architects to get inspired from and various and creative idea in a short time in earlier design stage. The research is expected to be able to play an expanded system for developing parametric facade pattern design in the field of not only architectural facade but also interior space design.
