The document discusses the intersection of artificial intelligence and computer-aided design, focusing on optimization and generation techniques for problem-solving. It highlights various contributions from notable researchers and projects that illustrate AI's role as a collaborative partner in the design process. The text raises questions about the implications of AI on creativity and human roles in design.

optimised to create
balanced reverberation
across the entire
auditorium

23. Michael Hansmeyer (2017)

25. “We viewed the computer not as
parametric system of control, but
a tool for search and exploration.
It was a partner in design who
proposed an endless number of
permutations, many of which
were unforeseeable and
surprising.”
