title	SwarmBESO: Multi-agent and evolutionary computational design based on the principles of structural performance

summary	This paper posits a design approach that integrates multi-agent generative algorithms and structural topology optimisation to design intricate, structurally efficient forms. The research proposes a connection between two dichotomous principles: architectural complexity and structural efficiency. Both multi-agent algorithms and Bi-directional evolutionary structural optimisation (BESO) (Huang and Xie 2010), are emerging techniques that have significant potential in the design of form and structure.This research proposes a structural behaviour feedback loop through encoding BESO structural rules within the logic of multi-agent algorithms. This hybridisation of topology optimisation and swarm intelligence, described here as SwarmBESO, is demonstrated through two simple structural models. The paper concludes by speculating on the potential of this approach for the design of intricate, complex structures and their potential realisation through additive manufacturing.

title	Storytelling: a computational approach for convergent thinking
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.caadria.2010.381

summary	Convergent thinking is an important skill in early design process to deal with the complexity and dynamic nature of design. In this research, by exploring the storytelling mechanism as one way to develop an idea generation representation called DIM (Dynamic Idea Map), we investigate characteristics of convergent process during the brainstorming experiments we conducted. A computational platform called Idea Story (Idea as Storytelling) is proposed which produces a narrative and helps generate a meaningful representation.

title	Playing jigsaw: finding the underlying structure of assembling ideas within design productive process
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.caadria.2010.371
source	Proceedings of the 15th International Conference on Computer Aided Architectural Design Research in Asia / Hong Kong 7-10 April 2010, pp. 371-380
summary	Idea generation in design productive process often occurs within brainstorming sessions. Linking ideas is the key mechanism in this process to produce design. Through linking ideas, a graph-like knowledge is representing the individual memories with the nodes and arcs that are the ideas and the links between ideas respectively. Design is the process of puzzle-making, such thinking process is similar to play jigsaw. This research applies a computational tool (called DIM) to produce a graph-like knowledge including diverse jigsaw-like ideas and their relationships. Then we use protocol analysis to understand how designers organise the ideas. The objective is to find the hidden patterns of assembling ideas in the design productive process. Some feasibilities of the game mechanisms are proposed in this paper.
