Parametric Design is an algorithm-based design process that dictates the generation of geometric forms based on user-defined parameters. With the boom of Information Technology in recent years, computers have gained sufficient computational prowess to readily calculate and render large and complex geometric forms predicated on parametric input. However, the exploration...
The Singularity – a theoretical future moment when technological evolution becomes uncontrollable and irreversible – carries with it the potential to trigger profound shifts in human civilization. This Singularity hypothesis, often referred to as an “intelligence explosion,” foresees a future where an improvable intelligent machine embarks on a “runaway reaction”...
