Abstract
The essay examines the influence of genetic models on architectural design. It distinguishes between two main models: one, that which prevailed in the 1970s and 1980s, was based on structuralism and was developed by the Israeli architect, David Yannay, and the other, from the last decade, a model which was based on ideas of generative design. This essay mainly theorises Yannay’s ideas, yet it also discusses the new model for the application of ideas from genetics in architecture. It concludes by critically addressing the two models in the light of the connection between architecture, science, and technology.
