INTRODUCTION
Nowadays, the architectural facade is characterized by complex shapes and patterns, mainly, due to the use of new design tools which promote further design exploration. The development of Generative Design tools, particularly, the use of algorithmic approaches, have had an important role in the generation of these contemporary skins because they simplified the design of complex and intricate architectural surfaces, which would not be viable to produce manually. In addition, they also increase the design efficiency and their evolution has been changing, not only the design process, but also the architectural thinking. Unfortunately, algorithmic approaches do not make facade design trivial. On the contrary, they require the rigorous specification of all algorithmic steps, a task that requires specialized knowledge and that, in many cases, can be quite complex.

ALGORITHMIC APPROACHES TO DESIGN
Generative design is a computer-based approach to design that creates shapes through algorithms . Algorithmic design is a process that explores complex forms from simple and iterative methods/rules while preserving specified qualities . For this, architects produce an intermediate algorithmic-based description of a design rather than its shape. Parametric Design is a specific Generative design approach that generates different instances of a design, where each instance represents a particular set of values for the design parameters , allowing the designer to freely explore a large solution space of the design briefing/program. Therefore, this allows architects to continuously evaluate several solutions, which would be difficult to do with traditional design methods. In spite of their advantages, algorithmic-based design methods require a disciplined approach which, in many cases, is difficult to follow. It is important, then, to develop strategies that help designers implement these methods. In this research, we address this problem and we contribute to the state-of-the art by proposing a strategy for the development of algorithmic-based solutions for the generation of facades.

DESIGN TOOL
+ Facade: The Outer Layer of Architecture The architectural facade has been the canvas of each architectural style. Although the arrival of the Modernism made it lose its status, since Post-modernism, we watched an increasing interest in facade composition and, nowadays, designing a facade is reassuming an important role in architecture practice due, in part, to the support of digital technologies . This trend of highly textured building envelopes celebrates again the ornament in architecture and the composition of architectural facades. There are cultural and technical reasons for this renewed interest. On the cultural side, we find the reinterpretation of Modernist aesthetics, the reintroduction of symbolism and historical precedent by Post-Modernism (Venturi, 1966), and the revisitation of vernacular precedent proposed by Critical Regionalism . On the technological side, we find the algorithmic approaches that simplified the design of complex and intricate architectural surfaces.
