Abstract:
Generative specifications have been used to systematically codify established styles in several design fields including architecture and product design. We examine how designers explore new designs in the early stages of product development as they manipulate and interpret shape representations. A model of exploration is proposed with four types of shape descriptions ~contour, decomposition, structure, and design! and the results of the exploration are presented. Generative rules are used to pro...     »
