Design Algorithm
Design Algorithm is a set of clear steps or rules that help create shapes or structures in design, especially when using a parametric workflow. In parametric design, these algorithms use input values, like numbers or sliders, to change the outcome of a design quickly and easily. Designers can set up a design algorithm so that changing one value, such as the height or width, updates the whole design automatically. This method helps make many versions of a design without starting from scratch each time. Using design algorithms in parametric workflows supports quick testing of ideas and helps find the best solution for a project.
