Performance-based Design Current Practices and Research Issues

In view of current developments in the theory and technology of digital design, potential novel directions for environments that support performance-based design are beginning to emerge.The field of performance-based design is defined through an analysis of current work in the field.Various models of performance-based architectural design are presented and discussed. On the basis of this analysis, key concepts and issues in the application of performancebased design in architecture are defined and certain research directions for the development of new approaches are presented. Finally we propose a new approach termed: Performative Design. Performative Design suggests that in creating simulation environments for performance-based architectural design both generative and evaluative capabilities can be integrated within performance-based simulations. The potential of performance-based simulation as a model of performance-based design is explored through a case study from an experimental digital design studio. Implication of this work on future research directions in the field is explicated.
