The catalog of algorithms and definitions is a collection of simple and complex operations with the objective of highlighting their varied applications, as well as solving specific problems within the creation, development and manufacturing process of architecture, urban planning, art, design and fabrication.
We believe that the creation of this catalog of algorithms is crucial to advance computational design and promote innovation by serving as a comprehensive repository of algorithms, techniques and methodologies that architects, urban planners, artists, designers and researchers can use. By documenting and categorizing these algorithms, a wide range of computational tools are more easily accessible, fostering collaboration and knowledge sharing. It is possible to draw inspiration from the catalog, explore alternative design strategies, and incorporate computational thinking into the creative process. The catalog also serves as an educational resource, helping students and beginners learn about different algorithms and their applications in computational design while nurturing a new generation of designers adept at leveraging computational tools to tackle complex design challenges. By embracing a catalog of algorithms, the field of computational design can thrive, inspiring transformative design solutions and shaping the future of diverse design disciplines.
