ABSTRACT
In this study,it has been tried to recognize the facilities of digital environment which has emerged a
new literature in creating architecture works,by recognizing the world of digital analyzing consisting
for motion of imaginations and illusions of architects and the discussions relating to building and
indicating technical details and performing steps and various analyses. Research method in this
study,is qualitative and kind of analytical–descriptive and the general method of data collection is the
type of literature Regarding the studies made in this field this literature begins from the primary steps
of concept design and ends to the step performing a building project.in the design step,one can make
analyzes and various assessments using computer environment and algorithmic base in a short time
and by the least cost.digital structure and production is the last step of the process of digital design and
production in which wing of proper equipment and hardware is inevitable.from the view point of
cohesion the process of digital design and structure,what is important is the way of connection of
designing soft wares to these hard wares(structure machines).in the conclusion, we introduce the
mathematics and algorithmic patterns and the way of using them and applying them in some case
samples.the findings showed that patterning and designing with computer soft wares and using the
algorithms cause enabling in design and industrial production of buildings and we todays with nesses
that creativities in using the materials and new ones of them has been emerged by digital
facilities,simply,new formations would be designed then built and survey would be done on them by
using the algorithm of the relation between the materials and the methods.
INTRODUCTION
industry civilization occurring with industries revolution and by relying on scientific advances in
various fields of life, represented a new way of life to industry societies. and defined a new frame of
life to people. Toffler called it regulation of industries societies. the regulations had changed all fields
of life of people and caused some subjects in industrial societies[1].in a way that now it is for several
years that computer is serving human kind as a powerful calculator machine and it does complicated
and long time works in each field instead of man computer works as a calculator in medicine, military,
geography, aviation, engineering, entertainment and every corner of science and technology and it
gives us tools and facilities in a that today. world is dependent to computers for doing the simplest
bank operations and controlling marc aircrafts according to what mentioned, it's desired to know that
this technology advance has any effect on architect as well, or not the emerge of the new lifestyle
based on machine and industries production, affected by deep cultural influences caused by big
changes and developing trans formations in life of man culture and the components was fully changed
facing with the new system, and new values governed on society, as we know, through the history, the

architecture has been the epitomizer of the tendencies of the society and there's a deep relationship
between the architecture and the changes. Architecture influenced by the changes exposed on the
society, has changed a lot one of the most important effects is seen now in the present age and the
communication age. now that developing application of computer and inventing internet is governing
has created on important age in the developing process of architecture it has been for a long time that
we witness existing samples of architecture projects which are not sorted and known by old titles of
past decades, the se project, which are known by titles such parametric and algorithmic architecture,
are originated from new process of design that seem the role of computer was so important on them
and it plays a major role beyond a mere simple machine[2].what is seen today and in updated projects
of architecture is serving computer by algorithms, codes and programs. the resulted architecture, can
so involve environmental , historical, regional, cultural parameters as a product since it is dependent
on the various items and parameters in the process of production and reply to them by controlling and
leading the design. now we want to know how advanced and progressive alga remind mathematics
make changes in the way of thinking of architects to space designing and method of designing modern
architect and structuring them caused an emerge of a new age of architecture design titled algorithmic
design and parametric architecture[1].research method in this study is qualitative and anal, descriptive
and the method of data collecting is typed librarian[3].

process depending on the need of designer, one or hundreds of factors would be designed and edited
and in virtual space as a result, designer in this process is not busy with producing predefined form
he/she sets a series of rules and organize an algorithm that based on processing that, the architectural
form is made so we mag say that architectural form is not the only main topic, but the process of
making that is under control of architect. in this process all the parameters affecting on design an
forming space is exposable on algorithm and architecture is formed in a space influence by various
parameters affecting on project and the definition of the way of effectiveness architects and designers
can brief the most complicated spaces in an algorithmic way and turn the space complicatedness to
calculative cumulativeness and control the conditions intelligently by themselves by transferring that
to computer that has high calculating power and by information management and understanding and
exposing the various effective parameter on architecture , progress the design in the virtual space[2].

GENERATIVE ALGORITHMS
computational geometry consists of a developing circle of algorithms that can be replying to
geometrical needs of various fields of science but clearly, generative algorithms are the ones which the
capability of making reply design with algorithmic methods and use them they cover special problems
for space design and architecture in CAD software in combining with facilities and ordered[2]. As an
example, can name mosaic or tile algorithms that can device a surface to thinly divisions and the
repetitive element is again increased and increased on the surface on the mosaic these algorithms in
architecture of surfaces that the form of components in creasing change, little by and is follower of
arch of the plates are so usable. in the following we explain cases of the most usable generative
algorithms findings this classical structure of forming in a research study was survey and assimilated
in an algorithmic space the purpose was that cache plate form was to weave in the design space wising
this algorithm by the fabrics. for the fabrics no matter size or material algorithm could weave the
fabric with simple patterns or complicated ones. it acts as a common pattern of designing and the
product is created as a geometrical form in the virtual space in the next stages, this product could be in
different was, and with the definition of size mater and find form in the profile of building, ceiling, in
eternal cover, and the separator.

Spongy shells: in a research study on developing and designing the building spongy shells, a
generative algorithm for making a system based on a biological pattern was studied in this project,
first the features of form, shape, structure and geometry of radiolarian a one-cell creature was studied
since the spongy shell of this creature studied in other research's, various potentially in forming the
structure were modelled in this project it tried to study the process of forming this shell in nature and
assimilated in algorithmic space this process was planned in some stages. the result was developing an
algorithm which could divide the plates with free forms based on geometrical odes of this organism
made hole in it so that a sponge come out at the end, we used other alternative algorithms to formation
job so that the shell would be formed by the systems based on even part and laser cutting technique the

result of this process was to design and produce a shell that was formed based on different factors in
this research project, we used different algorithms to as simulate design and formation of a shell that
can be applied in architecture the branch of covers in future[7].
Strips: systems based on strips use tong, thin plates and make them resistant as well as a geometrical,
regulated structure these systems that could use waste and recycles in some cases turn non resistant
trifle to a system which can have functions like plates, walls and covers[2].
OPTIMIZATION DESIGN
Optimization is the complex point of the design circles analyze in this method, there has been imaged
determined conditions for a good architecture and by repetitive design and analyze one or some
recommended design optimize that design to match with good concentrating on one choice and choose
the best choice by looking at possible ones.
optimization, is a activity in repetitive circles in each of round these circles, desirable choices are
formed by optimizing the former ones and one some of them that are better would be chosen these
choices are of ten great archi forms and organization that finally lead to designing the components by
choosing a find choice.
Fig.5
Architecture design processes always are able to present more than one solution for a certain question.
designers in most cases present choices for design so that they can choose the best choice by seeing
the pros and cons optimization also is used in conditions that its possible to present more that one
answer so it needs to be optimized the criterion used to optimize architecture maybe not always
quantitative but architects try to turn the concepts effective on design to digital qualities optimizable
through algorithmic way optimization could have useful functional in replying to environmental
factor, in eternal ecosystems, near to the building. distribution of operational system of the building
preparing the scheme for build however the process of design based on digital building. consists
ethnics and methods that in the past years. have had developed a lot considerable part of these methods
and techniques depends on the type of work and digital machines mechanism[8].

the first questions rising is that how design and performing such projects are made or actualization of
surfaces and fee archs show in these designs are possible by which tools[5].
Digital architecture modern tools of computer, as simulate projects and designed them that before that
with classic methods was not possible these works have brought a lot of variety to the building
industry at a short time found a posited in business world however from the beginning, the structuring,
the main challenge facing that archi and for complexity and impossibility of building may of these
projects caused critic in such a way that conservative criticizers introduced this kind of archi,
appropriate for magazines that can just illustrate beautiful images but can not turn into reality (journal
architecture) although few architects gradually tried to perform some of their projects but the
challenge of build apposed to digital flow of archi was so serious. modern archi needed new tools for
being done. in these conditions a curate tools could be a proper reply to this subject in development of
parametric archi, the topic of digital building was important as designing digitally and helped it's
growth now we want to study the subject in terms of history tools ad methodology[2].
CUSTOMIZATION NUMEROUSLY
concentration on personalize the goods in inducting and combine with the flow of numerous
production, ident of mass customization came to produce goods and services[10].mags customization
means producing customized goods numerously by digital machines these system can combine low
prices and positive points of production with flexibility potential in digital production and produce
ports and customized goods for different people frank pillar finds mass customization the design
process of product with help of customer in away that the needs of that customer would be met
regarding the variable item in those goods the believes that this process would be done in a determined
space but flexible mass customization formed an idea by providing similar parts digital machines and
maybe it leads architecture which was not successful in mass production to mass production of
customized goods. this subject way connected to current archi and the result, way merging a new
method of archy in a digital production and design combination model[2].

So that the final form based on these criterions would have the capability of bang structured also for
exposing deformation seemingly in opposed to economy of the project, today been turned into a
realistic path from a future idea by the changes raised from mass customization facilities and processes
of digital structuring and the experienced experts have the ability to build so complicated buildings.
these facilities not only have the capability of structure but also define the ways of structuring for
future digital structuring is a process in which they use machines and equipment's digitally for
producing for producing parts needed for a project they use types of digital codes provided by digital
design process for updated designees. this project is as important as digital designing since the
tendency for the beauty in the current world is leading increasingly to use complicated elements and
having problem in produce in classic way so turning complexity of the process to digital machines can
be a smart decision in such conditions. design in digital places with all the formation complexities is
done and the structure stage leads to accurate (digital) machines and turn the building construction
from an with low level technology to a high level one some techniques and methods of working
digitally are techniques based on cutting material increasing material decreasing them ways of
deformation using absorption and heat that each is proper for machines that do the related job in the
process of structure and production according to these techniques different methods of designingly
modelling the parts are developed to ply for the needs of the construction part the designer prepare the
files related to needs of digital machine and begin to structure after ending the sign stages and
preparing parts to exon case studies a ate end, we try to know the modern archi buildings and have the
discussion of applying algorithms in design structuring or both and postpone saying how to use it
modelling and design by software's depending on algorithms cause capability in design as well as
industrial production of buildings. today we witness creative we forms are designed then come out of
and tested by also of the relation ship between material and methods one of the advantages of this
system is to test persistency and functions of material by assimilating and modelling the form before
building that leads to observe each scheme before building it form and space in past archi have just
one answer that commonly has no second answer for design parts and collaboration of different forces
forming form and space enable forms. morphology comes typology for grouping answers possible so
according to new function of design and product digitally we can forget classic methods[8].

Davis Langdon carried out the project management, Sir Robert McAlpine and Alfred McAlpine did
the construction, MERO designed and built the biomes, and Arup was the services engineer, economic
consultant, environmental engineer and transportation engineer.
Land use consultants led the masterplan and landscape design. The project took 2½ years to construct
and opened to the public on 17 March 2001.
The Core is also home to art exhibitions throughout the year. A permanent installation entitled Seed,
by Peter Randall-Page, occupies the anteroom. Seed is a large, egg-shaped stone installation displaying
a complex pattern of protrusions that are based upon the geometric and mathematical principles that
underlie plant growth inwich all these forms are provided throw many digital occupation and analyzers
of its own time in mathematics and design process.

Another aspect of the Kanak's building tradition was that it did not fit in with the concept of a
permanent building. They lived in temporary type of buildings made with locally available material
which needed to be replaced from time to time in the subtropical climate. This involved a wood frame
building built on earthen plinths and with roof covered by thatch. The form of the building also varied
from island to island, generally round in plan and conical in the vertical elevation. They made the
houses in groups with the headman’s house at the end of an open public alley formed by other
buildings clustered along on both sides. Trees lined these alleys with a shady central gathering. This
theme was adopted in the Cultural Centre planned by Piano and his associates.
An important concept that evolved after deliberations in the 'Building Workshops', after Pinao won the
competition for building the art centre, also involved "landscaping ideas" to be created around each
building. To this end, an "interpretative landscape path" was conceived and implemented around each
building with series of vegetative cover avenues along the path that surrounded the building, but
separated it from the lagoon. This landscape setting appealed to the Kanak people when the centre was
inaugurated. Even the approach to the buildings from the paths catered to the local practices of
walking for three quarters of the path to get to the entrance to the Cases. One critic of the building
observed: "It was very intelligent to use the landscape to introduce the building. This is the way
the Kanak people can understand".

The shells of the competition entry were originally of undefined geometry, but, early in the design
process, the "shells" were perceived as a series of parabolas supported by precast concrete ribs.
However, engineers Ove Arup and Partners were unable to find an acceptable solution to constructing
them. The formwork for using in-situ concrete would have been prohibitively expensive, and, because
there was no repetition in any of the roof forms, the construction of precast concrete for each
individual section would possibly have been even more expensive.
The design of the roof was tested on scale models in wind tunnels at Southampton University and
later NPL in order to establish the wind-pressure distribution around the roof shape in very high
winds, which helped in the design of the roof tiles and their fixtures.
The shells were constructed by Hornibrook Group Pty Ltd. who were also responsible for construction
in Stage III. Hornibrook manufactured the 2400 precast ribs and 4000 roof panels in an on-site factory
and also developed the construction processes. The achievement of this solution avoided the need for
expensive formwork construction by allowing the use of precast units (it also allowed the roof tiles to
be prefabricated in sheets on the ground, instead of being stuck on individually at height). Ove Arup
and Partners' site engineer supervised the construction of the shells, which used an innovative
adjustable steel-trussed "erection arch" to support the different roofs before completion. On 6 April
1962, it was estimated that the Opera House would be completed between August 1964 and March
1965.
Stage III, the interiors, started with Utzon moving his entire office to Sydney in February 1963.
However, there was a change of government in 1965, and the new Robert Askin government declared
the project under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Public Works. Due to the Ministry's criticism of
the project's costs and time, along with their impression of Utzon's designs being impractical, this
ultimately led to his resignation in 1966 (see below).

PARASOL METROPOLIS
The structure consists of six parasols in the form of giant mushrooms ("Las setas" in Spanish), whose
design is inspired by the vaults of the Cathedral of Seville and the ficus trees in the nearby Plaza de
Cristo de Burgos. Metropol Parasol is organized in four levels. The underground level (Level 0)
houses the Antiquarium, where Roman and Moorish remains discovered on site are displayed in a
museum. Level 1 (street level) is the Central Market. The roof of Level 1 is the surface of the open-air
public plaza, shaded by the wooden parasols above and designed for public events. Levels 2 and 3 are
the two stages of the panoramic terraces (including a restaurant), offering one of the best views of the
city centre.

CONCLUSION
Nowadays T its very common to use the capability of softwares and to register some ideas throw the
cadre of mathematic solvations.its so often recognized that the algorithmic and computational masses
are so easier to solve rather than with ancient design methods.with new digital abilities new forms are
designed and took out of the whole body platforms and throw the algorithmic periods go to shape the
final result.the basic advantage of this method is its precasting ability that gives us several choices and
for each one an amount of answers.the form and shapes in traditional design methods were defined
with just one unique result but the result in modern digitalized design process is vary depending on
basic informations . ghatering the form and the information in which shapes the form in this type of
design process is one of the most important advantages of its own.so that , here is the family of forms
that is important and typology and morphology are rising to answer as many as questions they can.so
with this site of view it could be possible to create a new strategy and pathway throw the design
process and also the fabricating and prebuilding types of new era.
