MACHINE-GENERATED SUMMARY NOTE: "Generative design is a revolutionary new method of creating artwork, models and animations from sets of rules, or algorithms. By using accessible programming languages such as Processing, artists and designers are producing extravagant, crystalline structures that can form the basis of anything from patterned textiles and typography to lighting, scientific diagrams, sculptures, film and even fantastical buildings. Opening with a gallery of thirty five illustrated case studies, Generative Design takes users through specific, practical instructions on how to create their own visual experiments by combining simple to use programming codes with basic design principles. A detailed handbook of advanced strategies provides visual artists with all the tools to achieve proficiency. Generative Design is both a source book of inspirational examples of generative design and guidebook on programming with Processing for designers. It covers the foundations of programming, includes important programming codes and showcases projects by leading international practitioners."
Note:
MACHINE-GENERATED CONTENTS NOTE: Introduction -- PROJECT SELECTION: These thirty-five works by various media artists, designers, and architects active in the field of generative design are intended to serve as a representative overview of the subject and as a source of inspiration -- BASIC PRINCIPLES: In this section the basic principles of generative design are demonstrated using the four main aspects of design: color, shape, type, and image : Introduction to Processing -- Color -- Shape -- Type -- Image -- COMPLEX METHODS: This section extends the repertoire of generative design by introducing and explaining more complex methods in the form of six comprehensive tutorials : Randomness and noise -- Oscillation figures -- Formulated bodies -- Attractors -- Tree diagrams -- Dynamic data structures -- APPENDIX: The appendix is a kind of reflection. In it we summarize our thoughts about the changing design process and the new possibilities generative design offers. We link these thoughts with our sample programs and give a perspective on future developments : Reflections -- Index -- Bibliography -- The authors -- We thank -- Address index -- Copyright.
