Algorithmic Form-Finding is a way to use computer code to help create building shapes that respond to things like sunlight, wind, or how people move through a space. In digital architecture, this method lets designers quickly test many shapes and pick ones that work best for the project's needs. Designers can set up rules in the computer, such as let more light in or use less material, and the computer will suggest shapes that follow these rules. This process helps make buildings that fit their environment and use resources wisely, and it can reveal new shapes that are hard to imagine by hand.
