Creativity in Design
Creativity in design, especially in this new AI era, is a central topic which is driving
the future of Architecture and Engineering.
Capabilities of Computational Design Tools have expanded exponentially in the
last few years and enable us to compute almost anything. Architects, Designers,
Engineers are not constrained anymore about project scale, computer resources
or design complexity.
Horizon and potential offered by computational design and AI tools seem to have
no border and enable us to explore spaces that were not accessible only few
years ago.
However, we still often see designs constrained by tools themselves, not by their
capacity, but by the way we are using them.
How to ensure not to get “Lost in Parameter Space” and not lose control of the
design? Who is driving the design?
How to keep control of the tools to produce desired results and outcomes?
Those are reflections that are driving our design processes and development of
tools on our daily practice.
