DIGITAL INNOVATION IN DESIGN PRACTICES: (A CASE STUDY ON DIGITAL DESIGN TOOLS AND PROCESSES)

The emerging innovation of digital technology has significantly influenced the design practices in the field of architecture today. Innovative form finding techniques, through computationally driven processes that lead to innovation of the design practices; wherein, computer-based project plays a vital role in developing forms and spaces with functionality. The evolution of digital tools such as the non-parametric, parametric and building performance and simulation tools play a significant rule in design form finding technique. In achieving forms and space, it requires new tools and innovative procedures to determine the best result as the design development progress. Introducing the new computational process such as, generative design, Boolean operation, fractal geometry, space grammar, typology, fluidity and pliant. Will venture special forms that all the more ignite the infinite optimism and creativity in anticipating quality object a design built environment. The aimed of this study is to lay-down the foundational design frameworks in achieving parametrically design form-finding technique in away lead to a functional, unique, interesting form and sustainable design built environment. This research is a case study, a project base on how digital design tools and process embodied in the form finding design approach in achieving functional design. The utilization of this digital design tools and adaptation of the new innovative design process will be subjected to a correlative and semantic deferential analyses to determine how each tool function and relate to a specified, innovative design process. A descriptive qualitative method in analyzing data presented. The result will be analyzed to establish a framework for digital innovation
