Hasta La Ideas

Competition: Dezeen is giving readers the chance to win one of five copies of Generative Design, a book about using computer processing to design artwork, models and animations.

Generative Design explores how programming languages such as Processing can be used to create structures from sets of rules, or algorithms, to form the basis of anything from patterned textiles and typography to lighting, sculptures, films and buildings.

The book includes 35 illustrated case studies by designers from a variety of design fields such as architecture, graphic design, sculpture and textiles.

A step-by-step manual then guides readers through practical instructions for creating their own visual experiments by combining simple programming codes with basic design principles.

The book is paired with a website where users are able to download sections of programming code and upload their own artwork and techniques.

Generative Design is published by the Princeton Architectural Press.
