Abstract :
    The undeniable utility and capabilities of digital technology in contemporary architecture design make this a task for today s designer who, by knowing the impact of different tools on design, decides why, when, and what tools to use. This necessity gave rise to the original research and formed the main question of the research, which is the position of digital technology in architectural design. And how much it takes to use in design and what impact it has. Seeking to understand the logic of architectural design, in response to this question, by referring to valid library resources, the development, analysis, and conceptual description of the subject was dealt with, and finally it became clear that design by digital tools included systems that compute computational methods for exploration , Compilation, measurement and development of questions and answers in the human mind, rather than simply interpreting them. These systems can operate at different levels of autonomous actions by creating a database containing initial information and feedback derived from external designer decisions (Analysis phase phases), setting variables, searching the space for the answers, and then Review the progress of the extracted materials and prepare new design alternatives to provide the stage for multiple creative solutions (Synthesis phase in the design process); Finally, by evaluating each set of solutions, select the most suitable option. (Evaluation phase in the design process).
