Abstract This study starts from a critical thinking that the meaning of digital architecture may or should be redefined in order for the research in computer aided architectural design to situate itself within the realm of design studies. The meaning of digital architecture has been confused with the characteristics of the digital model in a sense. Thus, we criticize the nature of digital architecture revealed in design cases, then move to its definitions, and finally propose a framework of building digital architecture. This research is not to suggest an ism or even to discuss the trends of design practise, but to propose a structure of digital architecture. We analyze the differences between physical architecture and digital model, and finally formulate the concept of digital architecture. As a result, we propose the "process-ability" as the most important nature of the digital architecture.
