Generative design: A case study on two canopy pavilions
A case study on the use of generative design in the Building Industry has been carried out by the engineering firm Arup. The case study, explores the use of generative design for the construction of two park pavilions in Montréal, Canada. The project features a set of multiple
constraints which were incorporated into a generative form finding process which enabled the designers to embrace the design constraints and allowed them to inform the design rather than constrain it. This paper provides an overview of the generative design process, the constraints involved
on the project as well some insight on the additional benefits of the generative design process on the creation of construction documents.
