Abstract
Due to the rise of algorithmic and digital paradigms, the massing of architecture has been transformed, marking a breakthrough in the evolution of design thinking. This paper investigates the influence of advanced computational tools, particularly parametric design and generative algorithms, on the conceptual, methodological, and formal characteristics of building massing. Unlike composition-based and geometric reasoning, the work explores how digital mediating processes enable the emergence of data-driven and adaptive logic that restructures spatial organization beyond static compositional frameworks. Methodologically, it focuses on how designers operate within digital environments using digital technologies to create dynamic variations of form that transcend static composition, mimic environmental feedback, and imply relationships. The proposed study theorizes that these methods have transformed architectural form-making from an object-based morphological approach to a process-driven, performance-oriented system morphology. The study contributes to redefining architectural massing as an adaptive and generative construct, examining how digital technology has shaped it and its role in the development of current architectural paradigms through extensive historical, methodological, and theoretical analysis.
