4. SOUZOU – Creativity through Procedural Modeling NSF Creative IT Workshop, Washington DC January 15 & 16, 2009 4 The current computer technologies have changed architectural design as shown.

5. SOUZOU – Creativity through Procedural Modeling NSF Creative IT Workshop, Washington DC January 15 & 16, 2009 5 Motivation: 1)How can creativity support tools facilitate the architectural design process of complex geometric design? 2)How can procedural modeling (artificial creativity) and user interaction (human creativity) be best integrated? Current Problems on CAD/CG packages Complicated GUI: Steep Learning Curve Long Modeling Time: Requirement of writing scripts and learning functions Reusability of Design Strategy: Need a framework to reuse style/strategy Single-user Interface: Not communication tools Solution Multi-user interface: Microsoft Surface, NEXTGEN Procedural Modeling using not scripts but images/data Research method Implementation of Creativity Support Tools for Architectural Design User Test in architectural design studios.
