Sažetak
The emergence of parametric generative design tools and digital fabrication led to signi cant changes in the fi eld of architecture. These changes are increasing the opportunity to develop innovative forms and structures (new smart geometry of construction elements). Parametric design enables customized forms and individual architectural elements which can only be made using digital fabrication tools. The use of digital fabrication to translate digital models from computer into physical ones enables complexity nonexistent in traditional building. As part of the wider research project, main focus of this research is to explore new geometries using generative algorithms. The chosen software, for making virtual parametric models/digital models, is a graphical algorithm editor integrated with Rhino's 3-D modeling tools called Grasshopper. Proposed case study is to test and evaluate the use of the parametric generative methodology in design for specific architectural construction elements. Research specifi c emphasis is on structures geometry (new smart geometry) driven from mathematical algorithms, parametric design, and ability to transform three dimensional density in microstructure which is needed for improved sustainable use of material for load bearing capacity, thermal insulation and acoustic characteristic, or even embedded building installations in structural elements. After exploring geometry algorithms, analysis and optimization of elements using corresponding parameters is the next stage in design process. Testing of virtual models, their behaviour through evolving design process needs to be con firmed by analysis and testing of digitally fabricated physical scale models in the following steps of the research, and full-size building components in the fi nal stage of the research. Resulting improved and con firmed algorithms should be in the end implemented in software solutions for architectural design without the need for an architect to engage in the design of intrinsic structure or solutions. Surely, new methods of digital fabrication and construction open a new way of thinking about construction elements and how their intrinsic geometry could be utilized for improving structural performances.
