“Generative design” - the iterative process of using algorithms to produce a number of outputs based on design constraints - is being championed by architecture software giants as “the future of making.” But the power to instantly create thousands of options is already yesterday’s news.
Today we can envision a future where generative tools like scripting, machine learning, and AI are used to supplement and support human intelligence as opposed to replacing it. The concept of augmented intelligence conveys how humans and machines will co-exist, co-operate and co-create in a mutually beneficial fashion. This reveals a new range of possibilities for human/machine collaboration.
