Abstract

This research explores the integration of nonlinear algorithms into architectural design by analyzing the role of mathematical models and dynamic systems in generating more complex and adaptive architectural forms. It examines various computational techniques, including parametric modeling, generative design, and digital simulation, demonstrating how they can push the boundaries of traditional design approaches.
The study investigates architectural models developed using nonlinear algorithms, such as fractal geometry, reaction-diffusion systems, cellular automata, and artificial intelligence. It also examines the impact of these models on contemporary construction techniques, such as digital fabrication and robotic-assisted architecture, and highlights their role in shaping the future of architectural design.
By analyzing case studies of prominent architectural projects, this research identifies the challenges designers face when implementing these techniques and proposes solutions to enhance the integration of computational design with traditional architectural practices. The findings suggest that incorporating nonlinear algorithms into design processes can lead to more sustainable and intelligent architectural solutions. However, it requires the development of more user-friendly tools and the advancement of technical knowledge among architects.
