Abstract

Transitioning away from traditional design methodology, for example, paper sketching, CAAD works, and 'flat screen' rendering, this paper proposes a new methodological ecosystem of which tests its validity within a studio-based case study. The focus will prove whether dynamic implementation and interconnectivity of evolving design tools can create richness and complexity of a design outcome through arbitrary phases of a generative design methodology ecosystem. Processes tested include combinations of agent simulations, artistic image processing analysis, site photogrammetry, 3D immersive sketching both abstract and to site-scale, parametric design generation, and virtual reality style presentations. Enhancing the process of design with evolving techniques in a generative way which dynamically interconnects will stimulate a digital culture of design generation that includes new aspects of interest and introduces innovative opportunities within all corners of the architectural realm. Methodology components within this ecosystem of interaction prove that the architecture cannot be as rich and complex without the utilisation of all strengths within each unique design tool.
