Computational design technologies for interior designers: a case study
Computational design technologies can be used in order to fully automate the generation of a design based on a series of parameters that can be altered within specific limits in the area of interior design.
Abstract
Traditionally interior design is based on the inspiration generated by the designer who acts as an artist and engineer at the same time. Today, a number of digitally developed forms can be used with an aim to offer unusual geometries. Computational design technologies can be used in order to fully automate the generation of a design based on a series of parameters that can be altered within specific limits. In such a way, families of forms and proposals are made available and more opportunities for products dealing with interior design can be produced. These forms require the use of modern 3D printing technologies for their construction due to their geometrical complexity and their digital development. In the present paper, computational design will be presented together with a case study in the area of interior design.
