Abstract
Algorithms are mathematical processes that provide step-by-step instructions for solving a specific problem. They are commonly used in computer science and other technical fields to automate processes and solve complex problems. One great application of algorithms is the generation of shapes. Algorithms can be used to create complex shapes and patterns that are difficult or impossible to create manually. We will explore how algorithms can be used as a mechanism to generate shapes by adopting the Voronoi algorithm because it provides a wide environment for creativity through new intellectual processes that may not occur at all in the human mind to obtain architectural forms subject to mathematical foundations and rules with an aesthetic language that attracts and interests the recipient and saturates his senses through his perceptions and realization of convictions through this product through various mechanisms for the formulation of the architectural formation. Hence, the research problem arose, which is the need to know the role of the Voronoi algorithm in formulating the architectural formation through the mechanisms of algorithmic generation, and what these mechanisms contain in terms of principles and what they can present in terms of aspects and methods that can be applied to formulate the output. The aim of the research was to explore the role of algorithms (Voronoi algorithm) in the formulation of architectural output. As for the hypothesis of the research: the Voronoi algorithm has a major role in creating the architectural formation through multiple mechanisms, and the research followed the descriptive analytical approach through an analysis of architectural projects designed based on the thought of the Voronoi algorithm to find out the most important inferred foundations and benefit from them in the formation process. One of the most important conclusions of the research is that algorithms are a powerful tool for shape generation, as they allow us to create complex shapes and patterns that have their own unique characteristics and capabilities, whether you are creating art, designing a product, or solving an artistic problem.
