Geometry is initially applied in designing the proportion and partition of space, so it is widely used for the development of architectural design, for instance, the Parthenon utilizes the perfect mathematical proportion of human body to correct the visual performance of its form and the Villa Savoye designs the partition and framework of the overall architectural space based on the Golden Proportion. However, with the development of the entire digital technology, some algorithms like parameterization and bionics come into birth, which provides more development opportunities for geometry butreduces the multiple selectivity and variability in the final form generation. In addition, various complicated geometric relations studied in crystallography provide new significance for this paper in studying the form generation. Based on the aforementioned study objectives, the study goes through the following four stages: (1) to learn the development and restrictions of geometry in architectural form generation through literature review and case study; (2) to explore and build the form generation mechanism of crystallography in architectural geometry, mainly including the three mechanisms, i.e. combination of rules, quantity of rules and order of rules; (3) on the basis of such mechanisms, the study takes the Serpentine Gallery designed by Toyo Ito and the Water Cube designed by Zhao Xiaojun as examples to conduct the 2D, 2.5D and 3D design operations on the form generation of the two architectures, and utilize the parameterization algorithm, including the variation of rules combination, quantity and order to take operations and experiments. Different from geometric relations in the past, which seems to be complicated in operation process, and most designers only use the single geometry rules or add different geometric forms to generate the framework of overall architecture that lacks rich variations and more possibilities; however, the three form generation mechanisms based on crystallography found in this study, including combination of rules, quantity of rules and order of rules, which can generate more geometrical and spatial relationships, and provide designers with more possibilities in architectural space operations, so as to make the users have multiple space experiences and carry out different event activities.
