Formal techniques for emergent architectural designs

초록

This article discusses formal techniques by highlighting the mathematical notion of isometry, symmetry, and Boolean operations in the analysis and synthesis of architectural designs. First, formal techniques as underlying principles of architectural designs are delineated. Then, existing architectural designs are analyzed with regard to the notion of symmetry, and new designs are developed with Boolean operations by simply articulating and computing analytic outputs. Formal techniques act as the basis for the generation of new designs. Although generated designs appear to be newly emerged, they rely on the same basic compositional language as existing designs. © Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd 2020.
