Computing is revolutionizing the creative process transforming how designers approach ideation prototyping fabrication communication and representation. Yet many lack the foundational knowledge needed to fully harness its potential. Designing with Algorithms: A Mathematical Guide bridges this gap offering a comprehensive step-by-step exploration of algorithmic practices applicable across diverse design fields. This guide begins with foundational theories illuminating the role of mathematics and computational logic in design thinking. It progresses to practical techniques for creating parametric 2D and 3D geometries grid systems patterns forms and fonts. The book culminates in real-world case designs showcasing diverse applications of generative algorithms across urban design architecture graphic design typography fashion and more. Unlike software-specific guides this book emphasizes process and adaptability teaching readers to think algorithmically and develop skills transferable to any programming platform. Whether you’re a student practitioner or enthusiast this book empowers you to future-proof your design practice and unlock the creative potential of computation. |Designing with Algorithms A Mathematical Guide
