Generative Performative Paradigm With reference to sections 4.3 and 4.2, generative design and performative exist separately most of the time. Their combination will therefore allow form finding and optimisation via a generative algorithm based on the performance. Such a combination Includes performance models, simulation techniques and optimization algorithms. Indeed, the designer creates an evolving algorithm, which encodes a generative algorithm and includes performance feedback. This way the computer is used to automatically generate and evaluate possible configurations, and present the designer with optimal or acceptable and approximated solutions for the problem under study. (Fasoulaki, 2008) This design approach constitutes greatly towards the integrated design process, the author is attempting to create. The following is an example of a generative performative software:

This software is not available to the public as Panagiotis Michalatos & Sawako Kaijima specifically scripted this for the design of the openings in the atrium roof of the Heritage Vilnius Museum by Zaha Hadid Architects. The openings were designed using inverse illumination. The following set of figures are a set of user screen shots of the atrium model uploaded in the specifically scripted software, to design the openings.
Figure 47: This figure displays the uploaded Rhino model of the atrium of the Heritage Vilniu Museum. (Panagiotis & Sawako, 2009)
