Nowadays, architects have sought variety of approaches to discovering a geometrical algorithm in nature and speculating new architectural forms. This study aims to establish the direction of the actual architectural design process based on the theoretical research of architectural design process using the properties of crystal. It is meaningful that the research may lead to in-depth and diverse form finding speculation in the morphological aspect. Furthermore, it is crucial to create unexpected architectural forms. In this study, the geometrical feature and material properties of crystal focusing Pyrite were analysed and applied from the initial stage of design to the final architectural implementation stage. The specific process to develop this is divided into four stages: investigation and analysis of crystal, prototype form, single crystalline space and implementation of crystal architecture. The new form finding is not an architect's creation, but an architectural form that is discovered within the algorithm, the design language inventory, and the materiality reflecting direct and indirect investigation and analysis of the crystal. It is anticipated that this study will prove invaluable reference, help architects and design professionals speculate unpredictable form finding, which is followed by the continued crystal analysis and application to architecture design.
