Abstract
Despite the increasing tendency to utilise these softwares in architecture design, there has not been much attempts at rethinking the more generic use of the digital tools that are utilised today. Physical simulations appear as a second step within the design workflow; a testing method for a previously completed design. Simulations are also used as a form finding method, where the designer hardly intervenes as one does in other modelling softwares. SoftModelling is an open source Java application which aims to fill this gap, it aims to create a seamless integration between poly modelling and physical simulations. The software allows designers to not only transform an object into a flexible structure, but also to manipulate its topology while actively responding to physical forces. There is a constant feedback between the physical behaviour of every particle-spring of the three-dimensional mesh, as well as the variable scale and depth of every point, which leads to an output that is both physically and geometrically precise. It establishes an understanding that particle-spring systems can not only be used as a global framework, but also as a step-by step transformative process for architectural design.
