Abstract :Architecture; beyond its social, economic and technological usage is concerned with designing spaces and shaping objects. How architects begin the process of design and which methods they employ is a considerable research interest. This study has evaluated some of the generative shaping approaches dused for architectural design. This topic was investigated through the lens of architectural design contests held over the world in the 21st century, a time when design methods have recently been bolstered by advancing information and technology networks. Decision-making processes of generative shaping approaches from architecture contests were analysed and factors and approaches influencing design were attempted to be found.
Keywords : Generative shaping approaches, architectural design contests, Conceptual design, Development and formal transformation of design
