| Abstract | ||
| design process which fulfills a specific number of design requirements and achieves several design aims. The building envelope is the element that separates the outdoor environment from the indoor one. According to the aims for which the kinetic envelope is designed, the building envelope has a great effect on the natural light, shading, and temperature. There are many hindrances to the application of traditional kinetic architecture, such as the high cost of project implementation and the high-tech that can’t be implemented in developing countries. Most of these projects aim to create an architectural icon, so we turned to self-movement architecture, which is affected by external natural effects and affects the indoor climate and temperature without using mechanical elements, which reduces the total cost of the building. In this regard, a design can be transformed from a standard that can be measured in all departments to the inclusion of information related to digital assessment and simulations related to the development of forms and architectural solutions. To reach this aim, several parameters and models are proposed to describe the possible variations. Also, the algorithms can be presented as a means of elaborating on the relationship between form and performance, especially in the early stages of design. In this regard, the proposed design process doesn’t aim at finding the best solutions; instead, it aims at exploring the design that can be implemented on a larger scale. the designer can change the design process as well as extract the data from the solutions reached. | ||
