Architectural form has traditionally been implemented neglecting potential mathematical relations within the program of a building. With the advent of advanced time-based computer modeling techniques, architects are able to implement quantifiable data into the architectural design process. Traditional line sketches can be generated by using the inherent dynamics of the architectural program, which carries the ever-changing programmatic quality of today’s used of residential and commercial buildings.
