I. Abstract This essay is concentrate on the notion of Formative Genealogy, based on the architecture typology through comparative method approach. Retrospect the past paradigm in the architecture history, analysis the genetics geometrical similarity, from those well-reputed paradigms , distinguish the significant invention of original primitive ideas, and evolutionary derivative pattern language. All in all, conclude an abstract criteria of formative genealogy, for further academic and practical application, such as Pattern Language, Shape Grammar, Optimization Computation, and Design Automation Method. II. Keyword Formative Genealogy, Architecture Typology, Morphology, Pattern Language, Shape Grammar, Comparative Method, Data Mining, Design Science, Generative Design, Optimization Algorithm, Design Optioneering, Machine Learning, Parameterization, Automation, Numeralization III. Statement of Purpose For me, design is all about the process of form-giving. The nature of Architecture Design is neither pure reason nor transcendental aesthetic, but the duality of Aesthetic Reasoning. As a licensed architect, government officer, and awarded designer, my core interest is to bridge the gap between theory and reality, connecting academy research and industry application. Preceding interdiscipline education makes me a renaissance person. I had been trained as an Engineer during my college days, learning Computational Material Science and Design Automation. Nonetheless, because of the longing for Architecture Science which is the intersection of art and science after my graduation, I decided to attain the M.Arch I degree in Tunghai University. It was the artsy atmosphere focused on Architects personal creativity and expressibility which I was keen on indeed. Meanwhile, the diversity in contemporary architecture design and theory, made me reflect on the which is the fundamental principle in Architecture Science according to previous engineer background. The Architecture Typology provide the answer in Science of Design during my education. In the very first curriculum of precedents paradigm in architecture was began with Comparative Analysis Method. Through those intensive theoretical curriculum and design studies lead by professors who graduated from top-notch Ivy League institutions, I have been enthusiastic in the notion that Formative Genealogy since then. Consequently, I traced back from Pantheon, Newton Memorial till decommissioning Nuclear Power Plant, purposed the Formative Genealogy of Contemporary Zeitgeist Memorial in my master thesis “Ouroboros City�, which was well-received and highly-awarded, and received the Master of Architecture Summa Cum Laude from Tunghai University.

Meanwhile, I had practiced in professional setting in Architecture Design as much as possible. The most notable experience is the internship at Hirata Akihisa Architecture Office in Tokyo, with the funding of Pilot Overseas Internship Program funded by the Ministry of Education in 2013. During those days, I participated in the “Taipei Sky Terrace”, which is a vertical greening prototype housing project, as well as so much distinct with other residential typology in Taiwan, and honored by the Taiwan Residential Architecture Award in2017. I was amazed by how much difference the architecture design resolution could be, due to variety of initial parameter, such as culture difference, site context, programing, and design strategy. Through the abroad experience, I realized the more intercultural mutation, the more possibility the architecture design could evolved, which I intend to advance my education to study abroad. To see is to believe, the architecture grand tour is the best approach to dig in architecture typology. After graduation, I traveled around Europe for two month in 2016. I had visited most of canonized architecture paradigm, from classical ancient Roman Forum, to modern works of Le Corbusier, till the contemporary works. The magnificent sublime of architecture speak for itself I was astonished by those prestigious architects’ insightful will. Meanwhile, the more site I have visited, the more similarity between those paradigm that I noticed, which motivated me to further study the Formative Genealogy in architecture history. The fundamental research of Formative Genealogy have practical value from many aspect. First of all, the Genealogy could be the database for structural data analysis. Since I passed the civil service examinations, became licensed architect in 2016, I have been served as government office in Kaohsiung. After constantly reviewing numerous drawing for building permits as my duty task, I fully realized the similarity and variety of architecture typology in design become my design methodology, shape my perception of practice. Secondly, Formative Genealogy could be the cure of Design Automation in architecture. “How to evolve the optimized design methodology, with emergent technologies, in order to increase efficiency, flexibility and adaptability? “ This is the topic I strongly interested in, and the reason I intend to pursue the post-professional degree. It is the tremendous gap between theory and reality that. In my career experience, I noticed that most of architects were either narrowly focused on scheme design or devoted into building regulation inspection. I believe my interdiscipline experience is my niche to achieve my goal. All in all, the architectural design process is the duality somewhere between rational decision making and sensational aesthetic dialectic. With the help of strongest connection between practical industry and theoretical academy, I believe I could bridge two seemingly opposite ends of architecture design – theory and reality –a little bit closer.

IV. Purpose The fundamental question in science of architecture since the very beginning, is that how does the form of architecture be given, and is there any artificial order behind the process. Not only for historical analysis purpose in academic setting, but also for reasoning the process of the design method in practical field. Those canonized luminaries, including Julien-David Le Roy, Jean-Nicolas-Louis Durand, Banister Fletcher, George Stiny have developed their own theory, to decipher the enigma of creativity in architecture design. In most of previous research in this field, are based on comparative method, which classified existed architecture paradigm by chronology, scale, geometry character and functionalism, categorized into various typology. Thereby, derivative divergent pattern language and shape grammar, in order to building the autonomy in architecture design. Nowadays, with the assistance of digital technology and computation, there are much efficient to generate copious of architecture forms, shapes and patterns. Nonetheless, most of those forms still can be generalized into limited typology and genealogy. In this essay, will generalize contemporary architecture paradigm into distinct genetical typology in the following section. V. Literature Review In retrospect of the development in architecture typology, it was integrally corresponded with the architecture history, theory and criticism. The dawn could date back to 1770, Julien-David Le Roy revolutionarily developed the comparative method 1,which might be inspired by the biological typology and comparative anatomy. In his masterpiece “Les ruines des plus beaux monuments de la Grece.”, demonstrated the evolution of the temple form among the Egyptians, Hebrews, Phoenicians, Greeks, Romans, and Christians. For the very first time, there are a systematic method to trace the evolution and creativity in architecture design. In 1800, the notion of typology was inherited by Jean-Nicolas-Louis Durand’s canon “ the Recueil et Parallèle des edifices de tout genre”, which was the first introduced the term genre , and classified various genre based on chronology, geometry, and building form in scale. The genre table is efficacious for architecture academic setting in É cole Polytechnique, consequently developed into Beaux-Arts educational method. 2
Later in 1905, Banister Fletcher in "A history of architecture on the comparative method” , first used the term comparative method 3, and canonized a Tree of Architecture into several culture and style, in order to formalized the history of architecture, which could consider one of the origin of formative genealogy.

Nowadays, in 2013, Kenneth Frampton in“A Genealogy of Modern Architecture, Comparative Critical Analysis of Built Form”, basing on the critical theory of Frankfurt School, sensationally selected a pair of architecture paradigm and analysis the similarity and difference, to advocate the notion of Genealogy 4. Through this approach, the thesis design “ Ouroboros City : The Death and Rebirth of Maanshan Nuclear Power Plant ” retrospect the Pantheon, Newton Memorial, and decommissioning nuclear power plant, as a Contemporary Zeitgeist Memorial.

From another point of view, the science of architecture design could be view as an abstraction analysis of decision-making process., when Jean-Nicolas-Louis Durand became a professor in É cole Polytechnique in Paris, based on previous typology research, he induct those comparative typology, into more abstract principle of composition in his textbook “ Précis des leçons d' architecture données à l'École Polytechnique”. Later in 1813, Durand demonstrated the usage of principle of composition in ” Nouveau précis des leçons d’architecture” . This far-reaching attempt influenced the approach of architectural typology. In the epoch of scientific revolution, Durand’s contribution is not only for systemize, but also for the abstract the process of design , which is well demonstrated in Leandro Madrazo’s essay in 1994 ”Durand and the Science of Architecture”. 5

For continued discussion concentrated on forms and shapes, in 1963, Peter Eisenman’s doctorate dissertation “The Formal Basis of Modern Architecture” in University of Cambridge, it is the foremost query that discuss the priority order between form, concept, function and structure. After excluding other put the form as the primary element in architecture. This conclusion is worth to be mentioned in the time of science and technology progress, refocus on the importance of shapes. 8

The further study of the principle of shapes evolved began in 1972, George Stiny’s innovative essay “ Shape Grammars and the Generative Specification of Painting and Sculpture “ , discussing the rules in process of design from the viewpoint of computation algorithm. By defined transform, evolve, and adapt with other variables, intend to generate shapes and form in logical method. Later in 1978, Stiny analysed the work of Andrea Palladio, concluded the “The Palladian grammar” . This analytical approach is inherited by Deborah Benros, Jose Pinto Duarte, Sean Hanna’ essay “The Inference of Generic Housing Rules a Methodology to Explain and Recreate Palladian Villas “ 11, to revealed this process more straightforward. The effort for abstraction principle could be benefit for comparative method, a key example of this is Colin Rowe' s essay “Mathematics of the Ideal Villa” 12, which demonstrate the similarity of composition between Palladio's Villa Malcontenta and Le Corbusier’s Villa Stein. 9

A more genealogical result was contributed by Christopher Alexander. In 1977, his “A Pattern Language Towns, Buildings, Construction " is the fundamental doctrine from various point of view, not only for urban design theory, bus also in architecture design methodology. The notion of Language in architecture was developed since John Summerson in his The Classical Language of Architecture(1966),Bruno Zevi’ s The Modern Language Of Architecture (1978) and Charles Jencks’ s Language of Postmodern Architecture(1977). Lately applied on H. Koning and J. Eisenberg’s research of discussed “ The language of the prairie, Frank Lloyd Wright's prairie houses “13 . Nowadays, a iconic example of genealogy such as Anthony di Mari’s Operative Design: A Catalog of Spatial Verbs (2012), as well as Machin Helena conclude the Evolution of contemporary Japanese Art Museums through the analysis of the plan configuration since the Second World War . 12

Design is all about process of form-giving. The fundamental data-mining research of architecture formative genealogy (Chen Liu,2017), could be deemed as machine learning sample datasets input the Big Data database. Collaborate with the progressively advanced Computer Pattern Recognition technology (Jiu Xu,2017), the formative genealogy datamining could provide various application, such as Machine Learning (Wanyu He,2019), Generative Design, Optimizing Computation (Jeremy Michalek, 2002), Operations Research Method (Violet Whitney, 2018), Numerical Reasoning, Automatic Regulation Check (Nan, Fang-Ying,2012). Those top-notch institute including Autodesk, Google Deepmind, MIT, Harvard GSD,Columbia GSAPP have invested significant efforts into this fundamental research. With the help of Artificial Intelligence Design Decision Making Assistant System, the labor-and-knowledge-intensive industry of architecture design from the formative genealogy data-mining, saving considerable resources. In the end of foreseeable future, will the Artificial Intelligence architect eventually arrival.

VII. Conclusion In this essay, aim to classify architecture typology based on distinct geometry characteristic, forms and shapes, in order to conclude a Formative Genealogy. The attempt could be the foundmentary research database of further analytical abstraction, such as shape grammar, pattern language or operative design. All in all, through those primitive elements, forms, geometry shapes and paradigm in the systematic design ,The result could then become a bridge between theoretical architecture history research and practical architecture design industry, in which both professional applications and academic explorations could be on the same wavelengths of thinking.
