This paper explores the possibilities of the use of computer-aided design models focused on imitating the works of Nature, its form-forming processes and behaviors. Tracking the development of the cybernetic models aimed at architects, the achievements of John H. Frazer and his team of scientists are presented. These are the first working morphogenetic models addressed to architects that use generative and evolutionary tools in search of new architectural forms. Models and design strategies developed between 1968 and 1995, including the Reptile System, the Interactivator and the Janssen Model, are presented. The IT solutions used in them provided the basis for the creation of modern computational tools coupled with digital technology.
The constant development of all areas of human life forces the continuity of an awareness limited to individual selected issue, but also imposes searches in broader fields of science. The same phenomenon also did not miss the architectural design. Dynamism of changes and participation, among others, mathematics, computer sciences or biology design entered confusion and false perception of the definition of the new methods of design. The main goal of the article is to organize the principles that govern parametric, generative, evolutionary, bionic or organic design. The basis for distinguishing between these issues is to define the objectives of the initial formation of a solid object. Evolution of changes in modern design techniques is also a great record of the history of human conscious creation of an architectural form.
