This paper presents a geometry-driven approach to form-finding with reused stock elements. Our proposed workflow uses a K-mean algorithm to cluster stock elements and incorporate their geometrical values early in the form-finding process. A feedback loop improves the reuse rate over multiple iterations, and a best-fit heuristic algorithm is used to examine the reuse states. A detailed example and a case study demonstrate the efficacy of the method. This results in a form-finding method with reused stock elements; hence, promoting sustainable design and reducing environmental impact in the built environment.
