'The application of generative design in the Architecture/ district planning field '

Peng Qin/ PhD Candidate/Project Manager for Computational Designer        

The generative design combines parametric design and artificial intelligence with the conditions and data provided by the designer.  It takes advantage of the computing power of AI to explore a myriad of possible solutions and mixes them with the input and influences of human consciousness. This process helps the designer to find the most practicable or most effective solution toward the design goal by exploring a wide range of options. This talk will be a brief introduction to the application of generative design in a different design field and aim to inspire the audience to apply this method to other research areas.
