Abstract

This paper reviews the development of an interactive evolutionary design system (IEDS) for conceptual design, which integrates an agent based "build and evolve" approach with a component based representation. It builds upon the previous work done by the authors involving interactive design of bench-like structures and describes the extension of the system to handle the design of free-form urban furniture. The extensions include integration of solution clustering and a free-form design rule-base, within the IEDS. The presented results highlight the various advantages of combining an agent based solution assembly method with a component based representation.
