Design Thinking
Algorithmic Approach in Architectural Design
Enterprise Hive
The design was supposed to provide a modular space for commercial, experimental, learning, artistic activities as an enterprise center for creativity. The building components was supposed to be designed in a way that it can generate flexible modules so that the building components can be mass produced and can, at the same time, adapt to different functions for students of several majors such as Art, Business, Management, Entertainment, Media, etc. Modular geometry and components was generated within an algoritthm where design alternatives for modular spaces can be explored.
Enterprise South Liverpool Academy (ESLA)
The canopy design for the entrance court yard of this building complex was designed based on an algorithm to allow experimenting design alternatives.
Algorithm was created based on the orientation of columns according to grids which define each columns coordinates. A concept of tree shape structure has been formed by using generative surfaces. The columns grow up gradually on a curved shape to form a surface for covering the area.
Fanoos Tourism Complex
This architectural competition was to design a unique concept for a Hotel off shore on Caspian Sea.
As the hotel is off shore, its form is inspired by the sea waves. The complex gradually rises to the highest point in the hotel main building. This makes a dynamic form for the hotel building.
​
Architectural design parameters within the algorithm used as inputs for structural analysis and stress calculation. Accordingly, the outcome of the structural optimision was directly implemented in design throught the design parameters to create a form with optimal dimensions and location of the structural members.
