Principle of Generative Design Generative design is a collaborative process between man and machine. The functioning of this collaboration is vital, and the solution is present in nature.
Evolution “It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent - It is the one that is the most adaptable to change.” -Charles Darwin
Procreation fuels Evolution. The process is that the intermixing of different sets of genes, combined with mutation, occasionally brings in new random genes. The resulting offspring are then tested in nature to see the ones that adapt and survive. These are left to procreate, and the process continues. The process eventually leads to a well-adapted set of genes. The generative design process implements the same procedure. The set of genes are the design goals and parameters. It can grasp elements from the projects it has analysed and apply the knowledge to generate sturdier and optimised designs.
