| summary |
Generative Design (GD) involves the use of algorithms that compute designs. To take advantage of the computational power of computers, these algorithms must be implemented in a programming language. Although most programming languages have the same computational power, they have very different expressive powers. In this paper we focus on exploring the expressive power of languages and we argue that (1) the ability to use abstract geometry as input and (2) the use of higher-order programming dramatically simplifies the implementation of GD algorithms. We illustrate these concepts using a large and complex example that was developed as a case-study. |
