Generative-Design

Generative design is an iterative design process that involves a program that will generate a certain number of outputs that meet certain constraints, and a designer that will fine tune the feasible region by changing minimal and maximal values of an interval in which a variable of the program meets the set of constraints, in order to reduce or augment the number of outputs to choose from. The program doesn’t need to be run on a machine like a digital computer, it can be run by a human for example with pen and paper. [1] The designer doesn’t need to be a human, it can be a test program in a testing environment or an artificial intelligence (see for example Generative adversarial networks). The designer learns to refine the program (usually involving algorithms) with each iteration as his design goals become better defined over time. ...
