Abstract

Nowadays, the development
of technology and  thus, the resulting
digital architecture concept has brought the search for originality and form in
design to the agenda of designer. The ability to produce forms in computer
technologies and the applicability of these forms in building production has
been effective on these search. However, functionality is not the priority
for the sense of form and functionalizing these forms subsequently results in
problems. In these forms, it has been observed that function types of abstract
compositions are obtained, and the connection between form and function types
remains weak. For this purpose, it will be useful to start with iconic building
typologies adapted to formal layouts. Functional templates should be addressed
as a starting point, and depending on this 
fundamental input, form alternatives should be sought. Within the scope
of this study, it is aimed to investigate the functionally and formally tested
and used iconic schemes in  modern period,  by producing the alternatives that derive
from these fundamentally experimented forms in computer environment. Within
this context, the study covers the process of obtaining three dimensional form
alternatives in a short time period including not only functional properties
but but also meeting current visual expectations and consequently proposing new
methods for architectural applications.
