COMPUTATIONAL

DESIGN
Sarah Khan

 Also referred to as generative design

related to algorithmic thinking that architects use in
their design process rather than the tools.
involves an algorithmic logic that is deterministic,
rational, consistent and systematized.
Most algorithms are symbolic and are used to automate
manual methods by means of formal languages
described as being algorithmic.
derived on the base of computational design thinking.

 Any design problem in which the problem is represented

with a set of variables and a set of logical relationships
between them can be solved by using computational
techniques.

Origins(shahzeb ye sari headings mitta dena, sir said

dont use these points as headings) end mai just delete
all headings ))
origin of generative systems to philosophy,
literarycomposition, and musical composition.(Mitchell)
In architectural design, he traced generative systems
back to Leondardo da Vinci.
he defined generative systems as:
having various architectural elements which belong to
a certain vocabulary, that are assembled indifferent
combinations to generate architectural form.

2 types
1.Evolutionary design cycle
2. Self organisational design cycle
