Abstract

his research focuses on the evolving nature and concepts of digitalcomputational designs and attempts to elucidate the impacts on the architectural 
design process. 
It intends to take into account a holistic approach to the integrated design 
process and some of the key potentialities that emerge from its application in the 
discipline with the rise of digital design tools in architecture. As a result, the purpose 
of this research is to examine this new paradigm and provide a conceptual framework 
based on its models, levels, and systems that aid in the integrated architectural design 
process.
This framework may help architects realize the potential of digital tools by 
using and thinking of parameterization as a general procedure from the initial stage 
of form-finding to the final design. Therefore, an awareness of both the potentials and 
limitations of digital paradigms is imperative in the effective use of these models and 
in understanding how they will continue to change the architectural profession.
It concludes by highlighting the need to sensitize and raise the awareness of 
professionals and students on the benefits and potentials of the Integrated Design 
Process enabled by computation.
