Algorithmic Thinking - A parametric approach to problem solving

The present transformation from CAD to Computational design methodology is a major turn in design process and thinking. Computer-Aided Tools used for representation has been replaced by performance analysis tools, and determining solution is guided by computational processes of optimization. Using conventional tools and workflows are no longer sufficient to keep up. The desi should now rise to the challenge of reconfiguring themselves to align with the system, flow and exchanges that shape a new area of design and production. Computational design is an approach to problem-solving that uses algorithms to synthesize information, imagination, and intent. This book showcases the work of students attempts to streamline creativity into an iterative framework addressing different design solutions in a time-boxed data-driven environment. Work reflects their experience to develop design by experimenting, analyzing and evaluating results that could re-integrate into the design process making the final proposal more i
