SP18 Generative Design - Week 6 - Design space design
1 like467 views
The document outlines a generative design process used in architecture, covering steps such as formulating a problem statement, sketching design solutions, and building a model in Grasshopper. It emphasizes the importance of creating a model that can generate a range of design options while adhering to specific constraints. The document serves as a guide for students at Columbia University's GSAPP to explore design space and optimization techniques.
