Generative Design: Visualize, Program, and Create with Processing

"Beautifully illustrated... A fine introduction to generative design, filled with impressive examples and thankfully free of mind- numbing jargon... This book, equal parts art and textbook, is a valuable tool for both learning what exists and triggering new ideas." -- Steven Heller, The New York Times "Fortunately, this insiders' how-to manual--by Hartmut Bohnacker, Benedikt Gro , and Julia Laub--contains loads of images and project profiles that together form a snapshot of the emerging field, which, in layman's terms, uses computer software and algorithms to generate visually exciting forms based on wildly complex concepts. The examples are rich and varied, ranging from a series that visualizes the air quality in various cities through virtual plant growth to a company logo that evolves through a kind of genetic recombination." --- Fast Company
