Design optimization by discrete flow computing and Morse technique

The purpose of this paper is to propose a new design optimization technique based on flow computing and Morse theory. The basic idea is based on previous works by the authors on evolutionary architecture paradigm of evolving architectural form. Models will evolve according to a descending flow. Mathematical models include analytical functions, parametric functions and other nonlinear functions will be used to describe the design models. We also present analysis of relationship between evolution and exploration.
