Computational Design aims to provide means for harnesing more deliberate and conscious ways of computing processes in design. Computational design elements are derived from both theoretical science and experimental design in such a way that it’s mechanism relies heavily on mathematical logic but once built, experimenting takes on by varying one parameter at a time to study individual changes. It is a design model, not design itself. Computational design involves applying appropriate computational mechanisms, algorithms, or methods, to architecture for solving design problems and developing design applications. This process creates systems that can be used as a design tool for exploring and forming entirely new design concepts and strategies.
