Abstract:Architecture, beyond its social, economic and technological usage, is concerned with designing spaces and shaping objects. How architects begin the process of design and which methods they employ is a considerable research interest. This study has evaluated some of the generative shaping approaches used for architectural design. This topic was investigated through the lens of architectural design contests held over the world in the 21st century, a time when design methods have recently been bolstered by advancing information and technology networks. Decision-making processes of generative shaping approaches from architecture contests were analysed and factors and approaches influencing design were attempted to be found. As a result, generative shaping approaches are used more effectively than traditional shaping approaches in the architectural design process since generative shaping approaches can use many data more predominately in design process such as from structure to material, from spatial organization to producing successful alternative forms to architectural design process.
