Abstract
During the past several decades, the evolution in architecture and engineering went through several stages of exploration of form. While the procedures of generating the form have varied from using physical analogous form-finding computation to engaging the form with simulated dynamic forces in digital environment, the self-generation and organization of form has always been the goal. this thesis further intend to contribute to self-organizational capacity in Architecture. The subject of investigation is the rationalizing of geometry from an unorganized point cloud by using learning neural networks. Furthermore, the focus is oriented upon aspects of efficient construction of generated topology. Neural network is connected with constraining properties, which adjust the members of the topology into predefined number of sizes while minimizing the error of deviation from the original form. The resulted algorithm is applied in several different scenarios of construction, highlighting the possibilities and versatility of this method.
