Synthetic Architecture
Synthetic Architecture is a way of making buildings and spaces using computer programs that create new shapes and patterns. In Computational Art, Synthetic Architecture uses digital tools to mix art and building design, often making forms that look organic or futuristic. Designers use code to set rules, and the computer helps build complex structures that would be very hard to draw by hand. This process can make unique surfaces, patterns, and even whole buildings that are both art and architecture. Synthetic Architecture in this context often uses 3D printing or digital fabrication to turn digital designs into real objects or spaces.
