Description
This elective uses advanced computational design methods derived from biological evolutionary principles to better understand, and be more critical, of how evolutionary principles can benefit the design process, and what role numeric data plays in their application. Students learn the fundamentals of evolutionary algorithms and the various processes associated with developing a working parametric model for running an evolutionary algorithm, as well as analysing the results outputted by the algorithm. The elective uses Grasshopper 3D and Wallacei as the primary tools for running the parametric models.
