  • Abstract:
    Conceptual design is arguably the most challenging stage of the design process and ironically is the area where computational support is weakest. The paper describes the development of a computational system that will, given certain criteria and constraints, provide a geometry for the frame of a geodesic-like domical structure. The approach is intended to provide the designer with a suggestion for a possible geometry, rather than a final form. The method of generating the conceptual design combines the use of computational geometry and evolutionary algorithms to provide an entirely novel design tool.
