ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN WITH GENERATIVE ALGORITHM AND VIDEO PROJECTION MAPPING

Abstract

The innovative and creative approach that is produced for architectural design problems involves quite complex stages. In architectural design, the designer's approach and numerical data make the design process a multi-layered structure. The integration of parametric modeling programs and generative algorithms makes it easy to carry out multi-layered design processes. Generative systems defined through generative algorithms enable conceptual approaches, various geometrical constructs, and different forms to be created in digital environments in solving design problems. The creation of the generative algorithm of the design eliminates the restrictive role of modeling software in the architectural design. The designer gets the opportunity to create every parameter and design criteria specific to his approach. In this study, our aim is to develop a generative algorithm in a computer environment by using the principles of fractal geometry function. The generative system creates by overlaying the developed generative algorithm with the environmental factor parameters. In this system proposal, the goal is to produce various facade design proposals by coding the algorithm fractal functions and to make use of the visualization of various potentials of the generative algorithm in parametric facade proposals. Video projection mapping method is chosen to discuss the functionality of the parameters in the proposed generative system of the developed generative algorithm. Computation of the transformation relating consecutive image frames is an essential operation in video mapping. In this context, the design created with the generative system is reflected on a real scale medium , specifically a column in this study, and various image frames letting new design proposals produced by the algorithm were evaluated. In concluding rmarks, the advantages of architectural designs modeled by coding with the generative algorithm compared to the algorithms obtained directly with the software are discussed.
