Advances in Climatic Form Finding in Architecture and Urban Design

Researchers, architects and planners are increasingly urged to develop apply sustainable methods solutions reduce the impact of built environment on climate, adapt cities climate change or eliminate resource depletion building-related carbon emissions. In recent years, taking advantage state-of-the-art computational environmental design tools, researchers designers developing new digital workflows, investigate climate-optimal performative buildings urban forms. This perspective paper analyses methods; form generation processes; criteria workflows that present how these integrated into climatic finding, allowing improvement building performances. Additionally, current challenges future directions presented.
