The design process covers the entire sequence of design activities and includes individual loops of briefing, analysis and synthesis within evaluation and decision making. The development of computer tools that support design synthesis are especially significant for connecting different study fields, which is essential in performative building design. Computational design synthesis includes four major activities as Cagan (2005) states, which are representation, generation, evaluation and guidance in performative architecture practices as well. The solutions to conventional design problems may be pursued through fully realized designs or more abstract visualizations. Visual representations are used for capturing the forms or attributes of design artifacts within a design space, where a number of representational structures are embedded into a single representation. The design space is unlimited in size, and includes past, present and future design states for creating, designing, or inventing in design problems. To this end, performative design can also be visually represented throughout the design synthesis process computationally, which structures the design space for different purposes. The aim of this study, therefore, is to investigate and review visual representations that enable a dialog between designers and other individuals within performative design processes, and integrate various data coming from different disciplines. Computational representations are examined in computational design synthesis process on the purpose of communication, analysis, design development and interoperability for performative architecture.

Parametric Urban Design Thinking: Shared Patterns in Design by Algorithm and Design by Drawing Çalışkan, Olgu; Ongun, Gokhan (2021-12-01) The paper suggests a focused examination of the processes of drafting-based design and parametric design in urbanism. It discusses how spatial design's settled cognition would differ by using algorithmic systems through the altered relationships between the basic operations in design. To reveal the commonalities and distinctions between the two design methods, the authors present the detailed documentation of the workshop series, which experimented with both techniques within similar design contexts. By the...
Performance-based parametric design explorations: A method for generating appropriate building components Ercan, Burak; Elias Özkan, Soofia Tahira (2015-05-01) Performance-based parametric design explorations depend on formulating custom-designed workflows that require reading, writing, interpreting and manipulating databases, as part of the design process. The possibilities of customization and parameterization offered by the user-friendly interfaces of advanced building-performance simulation software and digital design tools have now enabled architects to carry out performance-based design explorations without the help of simulation experts. This paper presents...
Visual Structuring for Generative Design Search Spaces Abbas, Günsu Merin; Gürsel Dino, İpek (2016-06-17) With generative design strategies, the act of design, the problem-solving process, and the interaction, understanding and representation of design artefacts have changed. As such strategies entail a large number of possible design solutions, they also expand the design search space immensely. In addition, due to the automated design generation process, the interaction of the designer through the design process has decreased. This research problematizes two major points as (1) the broad design spaces of gene...
The position of three-dimensional modeling and visualization techniques in industrial design education COŞKUN, MERVE; Akiner, Dilem (2012-05-04) The purpose of this research is to determine the position of three-dimensional modeling and digital visualization within the scope of concept and product development process in the undergraduate education in Middle East Technical University Faculty of Architecture Department of Industrial Design, designate the problems that the students encounter during the integration of these methods to the design process, and finally question how these methods can be incorporated into design education in order to influen...
Detection of component composition mismatch with axiomatic design Toğay, Cengiz; SUNDAR, Gayathri; Doğru, Ali Hikmet (2006-04-02) This paper presents a software component composition methodology based on Axiomatic Design theory and Design Structure Matrix. The methodology we propose helps overcome anomalies and functional problems such as deadlock. Our approach can be described in two steps. First, we decompose the system to detect coupled components by using the Design Structure Matrix. Secondly, we represent attribute and method dependencies of the coupled components to identify issues during software composition using Design Matrix...
