Architectural Ephemerids in Terms of Generative and Parametric Design

Abstract

Nowadays architectural taste and the knowledge in fields such as architectural theory and practical abilities are not sufficient for being a good designer. Architects keep discovering multidisciplinary skills helpful in creating advanced designs. The use of digital generative design systems in designing becomes more prevalent for the first time being an architect means not only that one has to design the form and function of the building, an architect must understand the way the buildings live, from the conceptual phase till demolition. One of the most powerful directions in contemporary architecture is generative and parametric design. Thanks to the possibilities granted by computer-aided design, architects canstrive for surprisingly simple, free shaped structures which have not been possible up until this point. Since the XXI century mathematical algorithms have become more architecturally friendly and can be used to design more biomimetic forms. The aim of this paper is to present the newest trends in finding inspirations for the designing of contemporary buildings. Looking at living organisms in search for inspiration is probably most
