“…Eventually, the method will be an open-source program, accessible and connected to available modeling and optimization platforms. In parallel to this work, in a recent publication, we have investigated the possibility of incorporating architectural aesthetic variables of modern language as constraints and parameters into initial modeling to enhance the aesthetic quality of design solutions generated from optimization (Yousif et al 2018). The aesthetic variables will be incorporated into our system, in addition to form diversity and K-means algorithms.…”

Integrating mathematics in architectural design and building construction helped in identifying new methodologies or tools that can generate unpredicted novel forms. Thus, architectural performance had developed with the involving of advanced mathematics fields and computational software. The approach of this research paper is to come up with findings on importance of mathematics in the process of form finding in art and architecture. Consequently, this study will investigate to what extent mathematics forms in architecture had actually a great effect on the architectural performance of building. A discussion of performance from the structural, environmental and aesthetical point of view will show. This will be done through describing how mathematics had been shifted from being an organizing tool into a creative tool then a generative medium.

“…In architectural design, designers have to integrate various factors into the design synthesis process, including functionality and aesthetics that are judged subjectively and building performance factors that are evaluated objectively. In order to incorporate subjective intents into the optimization, several approaches have been explored, such as using interactive genitive algorithms (IGA) [2,3] or aesthetic-related constraints [9]. The use of these approaches enables architects to intervene in the optimization process and allow architects' personal preferences to be integrated into the process of design optimization, but they are not without problems.…”

The lack of consideration of subjective design intents hinders the application of performance-based design optimization to architectural design because building performance is not the only aspect that designers need to solve. In response, this study proposes a method integrating subjective design intents into performance-based design optimization using soft constraints. To demonstrate the method, a case study is presented, where the design optimization continuously provides feedback to the designer and helps them reformulate and redefine the design problem. The case study shows how the application of design optimization and soft constraints is able to assist designers in identifying implicit and hidden design problems and stimulate design exploration at the early design stage.
