Abstract EN
Generating architectural forms are based on variant techniques or methodologies of forming.
Though, all of these techniques are derived from either a form making process or a form finding process.
Intuition and unpredictability are the essence of the form-making process.
Form making is a process of embodying ideas directly into forms.
In a forming process characterized by coincidence and no logic or using imitation and metaphor.
Mathematical rules had always played a significant role in the process of creation of form in art and architecture through history.
Using such a rule based or constrained form seeking methodology is called form-finding process.
The reciprocity between mathematics and IT elaborates new mathematical tools with different activity, rather than creating variants of functional solutions, drafting, modeling and presenting, but also generating forms.
This approach is known by form-generation process.
It had been developed from using only rules and algorithms in the architectural forming process in a one-way process, to using a full range of parametric equations that can be recorded to return to any parameter in any of the design stages to change it and change the whole design solution as well in a glance.
Nowadays, forms tend to follow parameters and function.
Distinguishing the difference between those form-seeking methodologies through an analytical comparison disclosing the applications and examples of both methodologies is the aim of this paper.
