Seismic Architecture View

Designing a tall building is a complex task due to the wide variety of design factors. Today, parametric-based CAAD tools give architects the possibility of generating complex forms for tall buildings, with control over gravity and lateral load paths, the ability to monitor their responses to form changes, and finally generating the optimum form based on a specific governing criterion. In fact, the generative and creative potential of parametric CAAD tools is opening up new methods of design in the architectural design context. Performance-based design (PBD) is a method based on building parametric design techniques in which performance becomes a guiding criterion to generate wide variety of alternatives that are optimum based on the corresponding performance. In this design method, numeric design assessments related to the learning process.
