  • First Online:
Informed Architecture

Abstract

To face the unprecedented complexity of the real world, designers must get a deep control and understanding of datasets and, most of all, they have to find new strategies to collect data and process them in order to inform the design that is to be formed.

Algorithmic design is not simply the use of computers to design architecture and objects. Algorithms allow designers to overcome the limitations of traditional CAD software and 3D modelers, reaching a level of complexity and control which is beyond the human manual ability. (Arturo Tedeschi).
