Constructing design concepts : a computational approach to the synthesis of architectural form
Architects use concepts about space to solve problems and to form designs. A design concept is the manifestation of the basic instability of our mental performance: it is a makeshift that provides general direction for exploration. In synthesis architects explore concepts by inventing transitions …

Randomness as a CAD tool for the affective augmentation of form in product design concepts.
Computer tools for design are frequently employed in an attempt to improve efficiency and reduce time to market. More recently, attempts have been made to develop CAD tools for emotional design. Such tools may be intended to augment the emotional responses elicited by a product’s design and, in so …
