This work has to investigate the generative design, in an approach of projects aided by algorithms. Recent new breakthroughs related to Generative Design have the potential to change the way in the construction area drastically. This paper provides a new view of building construction. Thus, through exploratory research based on application examples and a case study, this study presents innovative aspects of Generative Design for construction projects.
