In the last century, form-finding procedures in computer-based-design architecture focused on both optimization and generative design. Capitalizing on new tools as means to interpret design and production, methods of optimization sought ways to efficiently correlate formal and functional aspects of the architectural project while considering organizational systems, and spatial division and distribution. Procedures of generative design were based on form evolution as a consequence of evolutionary design. Nevertheless, even when integrated, these procedures were centered mainly on relatively limited parameters. In this essay we return to an analogous historical case in order to examine the possibility of including more parameters in both optimized and generative designs.
