Abstract: In recent years, the use of algorithms in building façade design has significantly increased, enabling architects to create complex geometric forms that were traditionally difficult to achieve. Algorithmic design relies on employing algorithms to generate and process design parameters using digital tools such as 3D modelling and digital fabrication techniques. This approach enhances the performance of façades, allowing them to adapt to changing environmental conditions. The study addresses the need to understand the role of algorithms in creating contemporary architectural façades derived from nature and responsive both environmentally and aesthetically. The research aims to explore how these algorithms improve façade responsiveness. Accordingly, it hypotheses that algorithms contribute to enriching architectural forms while achieving environmental and aesthetic responsiveness. The study reviewed the conceptual framework of algorithms and their applications, analysed various architectural case studies, and concluded that algorithms play a pivotal role in developing environmentally responsive façades, thereby enhancing the sustainability of future buildings.
