Since the late 20th century, a field of morphological exploration has been autonomously developing in various disciplines and fields of study. In the case of architecture, this autonomization has been based on a procedural, even algorithmic refinement of form, by expunging it and abstracting certain qualities, thereby extending, not without successive crises, the paradigm of pure forms derived from principles and aesthetic elaborations inherent to modernity. This has not only expanded this general principle, but also opened new ways of approaching it. With each new wave, it seems that new formal acts or configurations are explored and exhausted in their architectural expressions. Concepts such as patterns, folds, roofs and morphological envelopes, modular growths and fragmentations, panel or piece decomposition or deconstruction, overlaps, deformations, among many others, only reinforce this general trend, understood as a refining deployment of the initial modern paradigm. This article reviews part of this paradigmatic development and presents some of the author's experiences.

Keywords : parametric design; architecture education; digital modeling; morphogenesis.
