An Interactive Evolutionary Environment for Creative Design

Introducing Machine Learning within an Interactive Evolutionary Design Environment

The overall research focuses on the development of an Interactive Evolutionary Design System (IEDS) [Parmee 2002] which integrates machine-based evaluation of engineering criteria and rulebased aesthetic criteria with the designer’s subjective aesthetic evaluation of design solutions. The research described in the paper relates to user-centric intelligent design systems and creativity in design...

An Interactive Evolutionary Framework for Structural Design

This paper presents a novel interactive evolutionary framework for conceptual structural design. In contrast with tools for structural analysis, tools for structural design should guide the design process by suggesting structurally efficient options, while allowing for a diversity of design choice. The framework proposed here implements an interactive evolutionary algorithm to achieve this beha...

Creative Design within an Integrated CAAD Environment

A design problem cannot be comprehensively stated because the design problem has a multi-disciplinary nature and the design problem itself evolves as solutions are attempted by the designer. Therefore, an ideal computer based design system should have the capability to accommodate the multi-disciplinary nature of design and should not prescribe or restrict design concepts and design knowledge. ...

Adaptation of an Autonomous Creative Evolutionary System for Real-World Design Application Based on Creative Cognition

This paper describes the conceptual and implementation shift from a creative research-based evolutionary system to a real-world evolutionary system for professional designers. The initial system, DarwinsGaze, is a Creative Genetic Programing system based on creative cognition theories. It generated artwork that 10,000’s of viewers perceived as human-created art, during its successful run at pee...
