This study aims to develop panelizing algorithms for free-form concrete panels considering esthetic surfaces (design aspect). However, the overall design of free-form buildings is significant; whether the shape, size, curvature, and joint of members that compose the buildings make them esthetic or not should be considered. The developed algorithms penalize the buildings already designed to verify the usefulness of algorithms. The study classified the curvature surfaces by Flat surface, Single surface, and Double surface based on the curvature of building designs and developed FCP penalizing algorithms considering esthetic surfaces. The developed algorithms were applied to existing buildings like BMW-Welt, London City Hall, and Heydar Aliyev Center using Sketchup. Further studies are required on penalizing members produced by CNC machines and FCP penalizing algorithms using parametric designs.
