Generative design in urban design, planning and sustainability
Generative design has gone from focussing on aspects such as manufacturing stresses and loads to 3D forms. Similarly, in the built environment, it has evolved from exploring the exterior design elements or the pretty parts of the building – the organic forms and features that are pleasing to the eye, to incorporating iterative design into things such as building plate design, optimising office or apartment layouts not just for cost, but also for sunlight, energy usage and traffic flow among other elements.
