Project 3; Generative designs for tables and chairs and hybrid combinations of the two

by sarah @ 10:01 pm 21 February 2012

My idea for this project comes from an desire to do some woodworking. I want to “cross breed” prominent modern chair and table designs to create a new hybrid/mutated design, which then, at a later date, I would like to build. I am planning on using the interactive selection variation of the genetic algorithm from Dan Shiffman’s book in order to manually determine the “fitness” of the designs by interest.
A problem I am considering how to approach is whether or not these designs should be modeled in 3D for the final product. The source imagery I am pulling from is 2D and I’m trying to weigh the options of whats possible in the time given. Ideally I would really like to have 3D designs to genetically evolve and mutate.

Code example from Dan Shiffman’s book, The Nature of Code, Chapter 9, page 36.

Some images I am planning to use are
