Structure as a Form Generator for sustainable Design

Abstract
Concepts of sustainable development have gained extraordinary success since their advent in the 1980s. Goals of governments and corporations became central for research laboratories and worldwide universities; the definition of sustainable building design includes six fundamental principles the structural system is included in the innovation & design process but not highlighted as an important principle.
The natural step for the development of these principles is to develop a new general framework for the sustainable design definition by adding the structural element among the key elements of sustainability, discussing the environmental design and ecological design strategies that have influenced the design process in architecture by focusing on the structure system as the main issue.
The research examines the relationship between structure system and architectural form, so structure takes on a new definition and a new challenge for environmental architecture.
The research uses computer programming to produce multiple architectural forms by using parametric design, and the relations between elements and codes and mathematical equations in the production of shapes and complex structures.
The research examines the concept of cell pattern in nature and architectural examples through the analysis of the idea of the voronoi in nature and various solutions used in the structure using parametric design and sustainability concepts for the structure.
The research uses parametric design to make mathematical models of the hexagonal shape of the cell structure using different codes in the Rhino-Grasshopper program by giving three mathematical models of the hexagonal grid structure (the structure hexagonal grid model - the modified hexagonal grid model - the interactive hexagonal grid model) using single attraction point and multiple attraction points, as well as description and discussion of each model in terms of the code used and the variables.
The research creates a simulation of a hexagonal curved structure using “Rhino-Grasshopper” to produce an Eco-Cell pattern for an Eco-Structure and an environmental study using Ladybug plug-in and Galapagos using genetic calculations. The objective is to control the cell opening to achieve the maximum daylight quality for the Eco-Structure in Cairo-Egypt.
