I have started working on a genetic algorithm which breeds object suitable for laser cutting. So far I’m only using artificial selection for the choice of most fit individuals. User is able to define the amount of time which the object will take to cut on a specific laser cutter. This value then serves as [...]

“Interactive Selection” written by Daniel Shiffman is the only example of GA allowing for artificial selection available at Open Processing. You’re able to interact with it via moving the mouse – scrolling over particular shape increases it’s fitness value. Here is what I’ve managed to achieve after 20 generations of artificial selection: I haven’t look [...]

To continue the mass customization nomenclature debate – I have encountered the term “meta-design” in Lars Spuybroek’s text in Materialize MGX catalogue. The description accompanies the design of “Mylight” (above). The title: “We should breed objects like we breed rabbits” suggests usage of some kind of GA in the design process. Here is the whole [...]

I’ve started a series of articles for sztuka-architektury.pl about harnessing the generative design methods for optimization purposes rather than generation of forms uninformed by their performance in any sense. “Generative optimization depending on sun exposure” is my first article from the series (full text in polish here) – written thanks to Fred Labbe from Expedition [...]
