Generative Form
Generative Form is a way to create shapes and structures using rules or algorithms inside a computer. In computational design, a designer sets up simple instructions, and the computer uses these to make many different forms automatically. This method helps designers quickly explore a lot of design ideas by changing numbers or settings. Generative Form can use things like randomness, repetition, or growth patterns found in nature. Designers often use this approach to find new shapes that might be hard to imagine by hand. The process can make unique results every time, which is helpful for projects that need variety or custom solutions.
