abstract⁄This paper develops a methodological approach for use in design practice which combines an external simulation tool EnergyPlus,NC with an evolutionary optimisation strategy for the formfinding of complex fenestration systems. On one hand, based on previous research, it presents a novel approach for the shape morphogenesis that exploits a generative algorithm technique to control a limited set of parameters whilst on the other hand it facilitates the integration of a simulation tool capable of handling increasing levels of complexity with greater data interoperability. In doing so it will argue the heuristic potential of the proposed method in aiding the designers’ decision making whilst increasing the formal possibilities of their final design solutions.
