COMPUTATIONAL DESIGN

NINE ELMS, 2018 The project explores high population algorithmic models to create a turbulent mass that blurs the definitions of line, surface and volume.

The Tectonic Formation Lab is at the forefront of new computational design processes. We specialize in algorithmic approaches to both generative design and digital manufacturing.

The lab develops custom software based on our algorithmic design research, which is used within the design and resolution of complex projects. These innovations enable increased control of complexity and efficiencies through automation.

The two primary areas of experimental generative design within the lab explore multi-agent algorithms and artificial intelligence.

Painterly Forms 2, 2016. This experiment in intricate form was developed through the interaction of painterly operations and self-organising algorithms.

This multi-agent differential growth algorithm has been trained through a reinforcement learning algorithm to generate proto-architectural forms.
