Computational aesthetics, which bridges science and art, is emerging as a new
interdisciplinary field. This paper concentrates on two main aspects of computational …

Engineering design research shows a rather fragmented, if not a chaotic, picture. But does it
have a hidden order? Can we explore it, or should we impose a reasoning model? This …

Composite decisions consist of interconnected parts or subdecisions and correspond to a
composite (composable, modular, decomposable) system. The composite decision …

This paper focuses on how to solve the demand of how to quickly explore more urban space
design and layout in terms of the conservation and reuse of historical blocks under computer …

Spatial computing is human interaction with a machine in which the machine retains and
manipulates referents to real objects and spaces. It is an essential component for making …

This work presents a computational approach to the layout of discrete structures that
incorporate practical design goals for routine and challenging design problems. The number …

The use of generative design grammars for computational design synthesis has been shown
to be successful in many application areas. The development of advanced search and …

This article discusses how visual arts and computer technology could complement and
assist each other in new and emerging interdisciplinary areas known as computational …

We describe the first steps in the adoption of Shape Grammars with Grammatical Evolution
for application in Evolutionary Design. Combining the concepts of Shape Grammars and …

Many of the design systems developed in recent years incorporate some machine learning.
The number of such systems already available, and the multitude of design learning …
