Generative research in design investigates compact representations that facilitate the rapid exploration of large design spaces. It includes among other things: rule-based systems, feature structures, and genetic algorithms. Generative systems are being applied to a variety of design problems from various disciplines including engineering, product design, and architecture. The objective is to further our understanding of the design operations and manipulations to create systems that better support the designers' activity.
