Abstract
This study analyzes valuable information (image feature information) from pixel-based images to systematize the form generation process utilizing this information. Information in architecture is mainly used as an analytical tool for functional design optimization. However, the Fourth Industrial Revolution and advances in information and communication technology have positioned information as a core value-creating tool. Consequently, there is a growing need to develop methodologies for effectively applying information to architectural design generation. This study combines digital technology with images, which directly influence architectural design, transforming them into numerical information. By systematizing the three-dimensional form generation process using low-level image feature information, it analyzes the relationship between the characteristics of valuable information and the generated forms. This approach helps identify the interrelationships between the characteristics of valuable information and the generated forms, the complementarity needed to mitigate the limitations of valuable information, and the potential for architectural applications of the three-dimensional form generation methodology utilizing image information. This approach reduces labor and enhances architectural aesthetics by instantly generating diverse early design alternatives. Such research can provide a more logical basis for avoiding intuitive judgments during the design decision-making process. It can also lay the groundwork for information-centric design systems in architecture.
