Abstract

This paper is aimed to apply Genetic Algorithms in creating architecture forms. Firstly, the introduction of genetic algorithms is presented .Secondly, experiments on designing forms for an architecture project by genetic algorithms are brought forward. This paper investigates whether the utilization of Genetic Algorithms is a necessity or a trend; whether Genetic Algorithms are used to accommodate specific needs of architecture or merely to bear innovative and complex forms; and consequently whether Genetic Algorithms serve reality or utopia. In order to answer these questions, the paper examines the operation of Genetic Algorithms in other disciplines and in architecture as well as the implications of its applications in architecture. Finally, the paper demonstrates the premises for a successful operation of Genetic Algorithms in architecture.
