TL;DR: In this article, structural performance is considered as one design criteria within a network of different requirements and an equilibrium of multiple parameters is aspired to instead of a single-parameter-optimum.

Abstract: This research argues for novel strategies to integrate structural analysis data in architectural design. Instead of a linear procedure of analysis, synthesis, evaluation and post-rationalization a synthesis/evaluation loop is installed which embeds structural analysis data as design driver from early on. The approach regards structural performance as one design criteria within a network of different requirements. An equilibrium of multiple parameters is aspired to instead of a single-parameter-optimum.The research is conducted via a custom-made digital interface between 3d modelling software and an application for structural analysis of space frames. The information exchange provides the basis for successive strategies within a collaborative design process of spatial roof structures: negotiation of an overall form and a multi-dimensional improvement of space frame topologies by a Genetic Algorithm (GA).

Embedded Rationality: A Unified Simulation Framework for Interactive Form Finding
Ramtin Attar,Robert Aish,Jos Stam,Brinsmead Duncan R,Alexander Tessier,Michael Glueck,Azam Khan +6 more
TL;DR: This paper describes embedded rationality as a method for implicitly combining fabrication constraints into an interactive framework for conceptual design and presents a unified physics-solver that generalizes existing simulations through a constraint-based approach.
Transformations: a project-based investigation into the impact of creative design computation on architectural practice
Tim Schork
- 01 Jan 2012
TL;DR: This PhD responds to a twofold problem with the status of existing predominant design software within architectural practice and is centred around the discrepancy between a worldview and a worldview.

Interactive truss design using Particle Swarm Optimization and NURBS curves
TL;DR: An interactive framework for the design of truss structures with incorporation of the subjective influence of user feedback in the design process is presented, and the effectiveness of the similarity criteria, as well as the ability of the user to drive the optimization towards specific design goals is demonstrated.

Generative Design Exploration : Computation and Material Practice
Mania Aghaei Meibodi
- 01 Jan 2016
TL;DR: In this paper, the integration of analyses and the constraints of materialization into design processes is discussed, and computation serves as an important intermediary agent for the integration, integration, and materialization of analyses.

Evolutionary structural and spatial adaptation of topologically differentiated tensile systems in architectural design
TL;DR: The design framework, which combines the generative EA and mesh grafting method, is shown to produce emergent and highly differentiated topological arrangements that negotiate the specific relationships among a desired maximal mesh density, geometric patterning, and equalized force distribution.

How Designers Think: The Design Process Demystified
Bryan Lawson
- 18 May 1990
TL;DR: How Designers Think as discussed by the authors is based on Bryan Lawson's many observations of designers at work, interviews with designers and their clients and collaborators, and is the culmination of twenty-five years' research and shows the author's belief that we all can learn to design better.

Evolutionary Design by Computers
Peter J. Bentley
- 01 Jan 1999
TL;DR: This chapter discusses evolution and design through the lens of computers, and some examples from the field of art and design can be seen as examples of this kind of design.

Design exploration through bidirectional modeling of constraints
Takehiko Nagakura,Axel Kilian +1 more
- 01 Jan 2006
TL;DR: In this paper, a set of design experiments that tested the integration of bidirectional computational models in domain specific designs was presented, showing the importance of translations between design representations in establishing design drivers from the set of constraints.
