Abstract

 
Nature has been always a main source of inspiration for human being through different fields, in which, he has always built tools and techniques for development in various life fields inspired in many cases from nature; between these inspiring the rules and phenomena that governed nature, such as rules of form and formation in nature, which is known as metamorphosis. From the Stone Age till the digital era, each era has witnessed a various inspiration from nature to create new innovations throughout our history to retire the old ways and techniques of doing things and ultimately establishing new ways of life.
Today, and especially in the architectural field we can find that architecture has inspired a lot of its concepts from nature, as metamorphosis rules that depended on transformation processes, which appeared recently in architecture under the term of morphing, in which the research will concentrate on. These new rules and inspirations not only affected the expressionism and symbolism of the architecture form, but also it influences the architecture design process by many techniques that replace our traditional ways of designing and revolutionize how we conduct the future and how architects live in this digital world with a new methodologies and techniques in the architecture design specially in form finding process.
Firstly, the paper will describe the traditional design process and its stages additionally where and when the form stage comes during this stage. Secondly, it attempts to illustrate the techniques that have been added through the design process by the architectural pioneers through the twenty-one century, and how it affects the phases of design process specially the form finding stage. Ending by illustrating the process of morphing and how it can be implemented within the architectural design process, to enhance the qualities of architectural design, aiming to reach a new design process and reaching new form finding techniques that can facilitate the ability of designing new forms, which can express new architectural paradigm.
