Abstract/Summary:
Historically, the development of the tall building has been dependent on technological advancements. As the continuous advancements of technology impacted tall building design and planning, the architectural profession also changed to keep up with the rapid technological progress. One of the recent remarkable technologies is the use of the computer to analyze complex structural systems and its ability to produce construction documents. However, digital tools to assist in architectural design to generate innovative tall building forms have not progressed at a comparable rate.; This research will discuss the generative concepts of a tall building forms and an innovative design process using digital tools that are based on a parametric design approach. The research will discuss a series of transformations based on architectural as well as geometrical properties that can be used to define tall building forms and the development of a process to generate representations needed for visualization and study model making.; The intention of the research is to inspire continued interest in new concepts of tall building forms and to investigate a design process that integrates architecture with digital methods. The suggested forms and design process of creative and innovative tall building will be of great interest in the tall building design field. This research will contribute to the Form Development of Tall Buildings.
