The taxonomy for one hundred types of studies is presented herein that includes different sub-categories of performative computational architecture such as sustainability cost functionality and structure. Specifically energy daylight solar radiation environmental impact thermal comfort life-cycle cost initial and global costs energy use cost space allocation logistics structural assessment and holistic design approaches are investigated by considering their corresponding performance aspects. The main findings including optimisation and all the types of parameters are presented by focussing on different aspects of buildings. In addition usage of form-finding parameters of all reviewed studies and the distributions for each performance objectives are also presented. Moreover usage of swarm and evolutionary optimisation algorithms in reviewed studies is summarised. Trends in publications published years problem scales and building functions are examined. Finally future prospects are highlighted by focussing on different aspects of performative computational architecture in accordance to the evidence collected based on the review process.EnglishPerformance-based design, Building design, Architectural design, Computational optimisation, Swarm intelligence, Evolutionary algorithmBUILDING ENERGY OPTIMIZATION, MULTIDISCIPLINARY DESIGN OPTIMIZATION, MULTIOBJECTIVE GENETIC ALGORITHM, SIMULATION-BASED OPTIMIZATION, SPACE ALLOCATION PROBLEM, LOCAL SEARCH TECHNIQUE, ENVELOPE DESIGN, DAYLIGHTING PERFORMANCE, OBJECTIVE OPTIMIZATION, GLOBAL OPTIMIZATIONReview
