So with that different definition, again, no. But generative art can also be made using systems of chemistry, biology, mechanics and robotics, smart materials, manual randomization, mathematics, data mapping, symmetry, tiling, and more. "Generative art" is often used to refer to algorithmic art (computer generated artwork that is algorithmically determined). ![]() then I would point out that not all generative art is algorithmic / computational: If by generative design you actually mean something more like "generative art". However, if context, correctness, or creativity are priorities then it is crucial for the designer to possess a deeper understanding of the specific algorithmic processes. For very standard problems, or for situations in which there is no such thing as a good or bad answer, a non-technical user can customize and run an EZ-design wizard and create interesting, fun results. Without understanding how the generative design algorithms specify the problems and without understanding how it then attempts to "solve" the problems it defines, a technically illiterate user will often be a) asking the wrong question b) not customizing their approach to the situation (when you have a hammer, everything looks like a nail), c) failing to distinguish a good answer from a bad answer. HOWEVER, in many circumstances that might not be a good idea. An algorithm-illiterate traffic engineer could use an "auto-intersection wizard" to design a traffic intersection without knowing anything about how the wizard works at the algorithmic level. Fact: non-programmers do use such tools every day. It is self-evidently not necessary to be a programmer in order to use algorithmic tools. If you mean something like the current Wikipedia page (which is kind of a mess):Īnd you are asking about algorithmic design problem solvers or "form-finding processes". ![]() This depends on precisely how you design generative design! (and what you mean by necessary). Do you guys feel that it is necessary to know computer programming in order to do generative design (the specific field/application isn't important)?
