Innovation in Generative Design Presentations
This category features projects that have used associative and parametric modeling to automate design processes and accelerate design iterations. These projects demonstrate that by providing new ways to efficiently explore alternative building designs without manually recreating the detailed design model for each scenario, generative design has accelerated design and documentation efficiency. At the same time, it has enabled designs that truly explore dramatic new possibilities in form, structure, sustainability, and performance.
