The design in architecture has changed over the years dramatically. It is the most visible of all designs and has left the rectilinear type of style of twentieth-century Modernism and is more of an ongoing plastic approach to form-making that has produced buildings that resemble blobs, gherkins or clouds.
The use of advanced computers and technologies has helped dramatically to design and build these radical forms that would have been too difficult a few years ago.

With Discussing the design of a project, architects will often refer to the concept. This is a term they use from science and it refers to an abstract idea, which is in turn associated with a representation of the idea. As concepts are the main reason of meaning, they are used in design to drive the decision making process. If the design is to maintain its relationship with the concept, then the design decisions must make logical sense in relation to that concept. Architects use concepts in order to attempt to bring other disciplines, influences or methods into their design process.
COMPLEX GEOMETRY
Buildings For tomorrow, Architecture that changed our world – Thames & Hudson, Paul Cattermole. Published in the United Kingdom in 2006 by Thames & Hudson LTD.
Nature is clearly a source of perpetual inspiration, capable of being interpreted into remarkable slender concrete columns and swooping shells, a guiding force that can be either adapted, or absorbed, but very rarely ignored. Complex geometry is figured out through engineering achievements, feeding them back into the built environment with houses that perform like jet engines or take on the form of vast mathematical models.
