Decoupling Grid and Volume: A generative approach to architectural design

Computational design is apt to address all design problems in one model, though these problems usually originated from distinct models. The method of employing one model follows the problem-solving paradigm developed in the early years of CAAD. The paper argues that employing multiple models in one generative process is valid. Furthermore, it can be more productive than using single model. Two experimental programs are implemented. They suggest that each model could work without interrupting other models, thus multiple models can interplay in one design task.
