Generative Programing in Architecture


Kokkugia, an architecture studio founded by Roland Snooks and Rob Stuart-Smith, utilizes generative software modeling to create new forms in architecture.



Also, check out this recently completed competition called Sukkah City. The competition used the idea of the Sukkah - a traditional Jewish structure built during the festival of Sukkot - as a point of conceptual departure. Traditionally the structure is meant to symbolize a modest place of respit and shelter. The competition had entries from U.S. and international architects and architecture students. Finalists were on display in New York's Union Square September 19th through October 2nd.
