A discussion on algorithmic thinking in product design process

Abstract

Some decades have passed since the first computer aided design software (CAD) appeared and currently has been replaced by computational tools that are becoming even more precise and specialized, contributing to the presence of new geometries that can be constructed (CAM). The complex forms that we currently see, come from a new generation of architects and designers specialized in parametric design, creating forms that are not only more precise and singular, but also more efficient.
