Abstract
Complexity Science with a lot of theories on complexity, can be used for diversified complexity issues in digital design. And taking use of the models and algorithms in Complexity Science, multiple novel forms can be generated efficiently for architectural design, along with the use of computer tools. Complexity Science not only serves as the inspiration for the ideas and methods in digital design, but also provides methods for complex problems and the increased complexity. And some possible applications are discussed in the paper.
