Design for Gardens

Human Tended Gardens of Evolutionary Design

This paper describes an artificial creative system that simulates basic creative design behavior through the use of pseudo-genetic design supplemented by human recognition and evaluation. While it remains unclear if the system is truly creative itself, it provides the necessary support structure for a design platform that reshapes creative decision making as a question of design growth rather than

Furthering Distributed Participative Design Unlocking the walled gardens

Participatory design (PD) and its derivative distributed participatory design (DPD) are examples of collaborative research methods that have been successfully applied to information systems problems. Yet, there are other collaborative research methods such as action research and design science that have also been used in the same context. This paper argues that this trifurcation in collaborativ...

Creative Gardens

Can we move beyond simply networking creative individuals to establishing diverse communities of practice for innovation through discursive methods. Furthermore, can we digitise their creativity activities within an integrative socio-cultural collaborative technology platform that could then support distributed innovation. First, we consider the complexity of creative cultures from the perspect...

investigating the feasibility of a proposed model for geometric design of deployable arch structures

deployable scissor type structures are composed of the so-called scissor-like elements (sles), which are connected to each other at an intermediate point through a pivotal connection and allow them to be folded into a compact bundle for storage or transport. several sles are connected to each other in order to form units with regular polygonal plan views. the sides and radii of the polygons are...
