Generative design has been greatly influenced by architecture through the use of computational tools, parametric design, and the exploration of geometric shapes. Architecture has provided a framework for the development of generative design, as architects have used similar techniques to create complex buildings and structures. As such, generative design has taken many cues from architecture in terms of the use of software and algorithms to create complex forms and shapes. The ability to iterate quickly and generate numerous design options has been made possible due to advancements in technology, which have been heavily influenced by the architectural industry. Additionally, the application of generative design within architecture has allowed for new forms and expressions in building design that were previously unattainable. Overall, architecture has played a crucial role in shaping the development and application of generative design.
