Generative Design History Generative design in architecture can be traced back to the 70s where George Stiny and William Mitchell developed a set of design shape rules based on Andrea Palladio’s work. Andrea Palladio’s design process involved designing through logical design rules by studying Greek and Roman architecture. The Palladian Grammar6 helped create many variations of Palladio’s designs.
