CDP: Multiple Perspectives on Computational Graphic Design

by aigaeducators \ June 8, 2022

CDP: Creative, Live, and Co-Coding

by aigaeducators \ April 6, 2022

What is it like using code in a designerly way? Creative coding enables us to design generatively, in which form is continuously constructed and reconstructed based upon the interaction between dynamic input parameters and algorithms. Might the process of writing code be collaborative in real-time and spark communication between designers?

CDP: Transform, Transcend, Transmedia

by aigaeducators \ February 3, 2022

Design education is providing a space in which students can explore, experiment, and speculate. Through computational design, students should be encouraged to experiment and materialize their ideas with tools and methods beyond existing software. How can design education encourage future-thinking approaches and empower designers to build their own processes?

Welcome to: Computational Design Practices (CDP)

by aigaeducators \ November 9, 2021

Computational Design Practices (CDP) is a living document that explores the areas, concepts, skills, and perspectives of computational design, through conversations with design practitioners and educators. It aims to define and demystify code-driven and data-driven approaches in design, and discuss new opportunities and challenges to using computation as a creative medium in the context of design practice and education.
