In-depth knowledge of this relationship is not usually revealed in the regular university training courses such as bachelor’s, master’s and continuing education. For this reason, we believe that it is necessary to modify the learning process, offering a more global vision of all the currently existing techniques and extending training in those related to algorithmic modeling techniques. We consider the latter to be the most powerful current techniques for modeling complex shapes that cannot be modeled with the usual techniques known to date. Therefore, the most complete training should include everything from the usual geometry to textual programming. This would take us a step further along the way to more powerful design environments. The proposed taxonomy could serve as a guideline to help improve the learning process of students and designers in a complex environment with increasingly powerful requirements and tools. The term “smart” is widely used nowadays, e.g. smart phones, smart cars, smart homes, smart cities... and similar terms such as “smart shape modeling”. Nowadays, the term smart is applied from a marketing point of view, whenever an innovation is used to solve a complex problem. This is the case for what is currently called smart shape modeling. However, in the future; this concept should mean a much better design environment than today. The smart future requires better trained and skilled engineers, architects, designers or technical students. This means that they must be prepared to be able to contribute to the creation of new knowledge, to the use of innovations to solve complex problems of form, and to the extraction of the relevant pieces of intelligence from the growing volume of knowledge and technologies accessible today. Our taxonomy is presented from the point of view of methods that are possibly furthest away from what is considered today as “intelligent shape modeling” to the limit of what is achievable today and which the authors call “Generic Shape Algorithm”. Finally, we discuss the characteristics that a shape modeling system must have to be truly “intelligent”: it must be “proactive” in applying innovative ideas to achieve a solution to a complex problem. 000112189 536__ $$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA/T33-20D 000112189 540__ $$9info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess$$aby$$uhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/ 000112189 592__ $$a0.429$$b2022 000112189 593__ $$aIndustrial and Manufacturing Engineering$$c2022$$dQ2 000112189 593__ $$aModeling and Simulation$$c2022$$dQ3 000112189 594__ $$a5.0$$b2022 000112189 655_4 $$ainfo:eu-repo/semantics/article$$vinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion 000112189 700__ $$aZaldívar, Ángel 000112189 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0001-9688-2260$$aBlesa, Alfonso$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000112189 700__ $$aCelani, Gabriela 000112189 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0002-3355-0055$$aMagallón, Juan$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000112189 7102_ $$15008$$2785$$aUniversidad de Zaragoza$$bDpto.
