The Role of Algorithms in the Formation Structure of Future Architecture

Abstract

Technological development is an essential element in architectural development. It works to change the perception of how buildings are designed. Also, it leads to future horizons to imagine distinctive architecture based on the rules of the unfamiliar in architectural forms and the trend towards dynamic forms. Moreover, it takes nature as a source of inspiration and, in addition to the possibilities of technology for building materials, resulting in the emergence of unexpected, vibrant, and ever-changing architectural forms. Future architecture depends on using digital generation tools to form its free dynamic structure, and algorithms are one of the digital tools used today for generation and structural optimization. Therefore, the research problem of "the lack of a theoretical perception that describes algorithms and their role in shaping the structure of future architecture". The research initially dealt with the general knowledge of algorithms. Then the theoretical framework for algorithms was extracted by analyzing several architectural studies. After that, an applied example of the role of these algorithms was studied and analyzed. Then the main conclusions, recommendations and sources were presented.
