The main topic that is researched in this study is: what performative architecture is and
its role in the design process and product. In the scope of performative architecture the
aim is to focus what a building does rather than what it is and the fact that architecture
should have the capability of being adaptable to changing time, conditions and
environment. A design problem is taken under consideration and designed from the
scope of performative architecture. The design problem is the transformation of the
Defence Line around Amsterdam, designing new buildings with the recent technologies as
additions to the forts remaining from 1900&rsquo / s. A &ldquo / performative model&rdquo / , which supports
design from the conceptual stage until production of scale prototypes is structured by the
author for this specific design problem. This performative model is used as a case study
for the research of the role of the computational design tools in the design process and
product of performative architecture. In addition to the design process, the role of using
