GAs play role in algorithmic architecture at Columbia
An interesting post at hipercroquis discusses a seminar course in architecture at Columbia entitled Algorithmic Architecture:
In this seminar students will explore rule-based systems for generating architectural form, designing “genetic material” the computer can process to create new architectural morphologies. Using scripting languages available in 3d packages (i.e. Maya Embedded Language (MEL) and 3dMaxScript, Cinema4d COFFEE) students can go beyond the mouse, transcending the factory-set limitations of current 3D software. By working with code it is possible to create intelligent form using methods analogous to those through which intelligent life evolves: emergent behavior and self-organizing systems.
Mutation and crossover meet Frank Lloyd Wright.
