Design Space Exploration in the Shape Machine Interface

  • Robert Woodbury

摘要

Shape grammars enable a tight loop comprising seeing and doing in design. Designers rapidly make many design alternatives as they work: they explore design spaces. The Shape Machine interface addresses the former, but not the latter. This paper presents lessons from an existing design space explorer and proposes extensions to the Shape Machine interface to better enable design space exploration.
