Kyuha Shim designs typography, though you could argue that he doesn’t do it all on his own. The PhD candidate at the Royal College of Art leaves much to algorithms of his own creation. As a researcher ...

An international research team has developed an optimized semi-transparent PV greenhouse design that increases solar electricity generation by strategically allocating PV surfaces to south-facing ...

Algorithms are designed to learn user preferences by observing user behaviour. This causes algorithms to fail to reflect user preferences when psychological biases affect user decision making. For ...

Programmer Joel Simon has created an experimental research project, Evolving Floor Plans, to explore speculative and optimized plan layouts using generative design. Interested in the intersection of ...
