At times these hidden or “invisible” geometries become lost or forgotten during the design process and production (Stavric and Marina 2011) making it difficult, if not impossible to replicate or fully understand the system in place. In generative modeling there are certain sets of rules, also known as parameters or constraints applied to the design process and outcome. During the generative modeling process, each step in the design is documented and capable of being viewed, evaluated and altered. Currently, few if any applications of parametric design have been made in landscape settings.</p><p>This study investigates and evaluates generative modeling as a design tool in urban riverfront systems, and the design experience inherent in the process. The study methodology (1) researches the fundamental background of generative modeling through literature review (2) minimizes the variables in the design process by identifying the urban riverfront typologies and HSW standards applicable to urban riverfront design, (3) identifies an urban riverfront site to test the generative modeling design process, (4) generates parametric algorithms from the standards applicable to urban riverfront path design (derived from the identified typologies and HSW criteria) (5) analyzes the site for attractors, detractors and ambiguous elements and (6) concludes with analysis and discussion of both the resulting urban riverfront design iterations and the generative modeling design experience.</p><p>The analysis and evaluation suggest that use of generative modeling in urban riverfront design allows for rapid production, exploration, and evaluation of various iterations for designers and clients consideration. These multiple iterations facilitate an interactive process that increases design awareness and potentially enhances and improves design outcomes.</p> 2012-06-27 English text The Ohio State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1338355682 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1338355682 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
