Abstract :This article is discussing nature role in architecture through morphogenesis using computational approach, it’s locating biology, nature, chemistry, geology, crystallography , and material structures in an objective framework in the form-finding and concept generation process. on the one hand, it’s presenting a deeper, dynamic inspiration source through the integration between architecture and biology. The micro scale of biology systems, in many cases play a macro significance in providing a proper functional and aesthetic solutions, by taking a closer look on material’s formation of structure, tissues, or the differentiation and growth of the organs during developments.   Although, the article is clarifying and defining related terms of computation process in architecture, by presenting a general view over the benefits architects have received adopting the computational approach and digital tools in both the early stage of design process or in production phase. The article is representing a bridging between the computation of human brain, biological parameters and digital tools.   In addition, it will be presenting the masters adopted the morphogenesis approach in architecture around the world through the past decades and their attempts in the architectural field for improving early design process, and the developments a design can reach across the integration between pre-determined parameters and the primary expectations of human brain and imagination.
