Abstract:This paper centers on the need for design exploration and concept development at the early-stage architectural design and investigates the limitations of current application of parametric modelling and computational optimization in performance-based design generation and exploration. In response to these limitations, the paper introduces an integrated design tool, called EvoMass, for building massing generation, optimization and exploration and demonstrates its utility in architectural design processes. The result shows that the designers can extract design information related to building performance from the optimization result and proactively use this information as a driving factor in the concept development and design synthesis processes. Finally, EvoMass facilitates a human-machine co-evolutionary design process in the early stages of architectural design
