Reverse Thinking: The Impact of 3D Software on the Design Process

What if the artist has access to engineering tools and programs to create art? How can we use the algorithm and procedural method through the external use of computing and real-time visualization to build complex and organic shapes? Then, how do we convert these algorithms and mathematical systems from just visual effects to actual 3D printed furniture and architecture elements. For example, Zaha Hadid used a program that was initially used to design jewelry to create her intricate shapes. Frank Gehry used a program that designed aircraft engines. What is the workflow that allows us to develop with new tools as we go along with creating new models? Use the latest technology in manufacturing and digital assembly to bring these ideas to life. These areas of research include:

- Artificial Intelligence, Automated Manufacturing, and 3D Printing

- Digital culture, technology, and contemporary aesthetics

- Speculations through design and interactive media

- Architectural Design
