This paper presents preliminary results of a newly developed methodology and a software tool for parametric design of complex architectural objects, so called digital or algorithmic forms. In order to provide a maximally flexible solution, the proposed design philosophy yields two open source utilities Donkey and MIDAS written in Grashopper algorithm editor and C++, respectively, that are to be linked with a scripting-based architectural modellers Rhinoceros(C), AutoCAD(C) and the open source Finite Element solver OOFEM. The emphasis is on the mechanical response of designed objects in order to provide architects with a consistent learning framework and wise insight into structural behaviour of their artworks. As demonstrated on several case studies, the combination of the utilities may handle objects of considerable structural complexity and boosts the algorithmic architectural design in terms of accelerating the process of finding procedural design parameters from orders of weeks to days or hours.
