Eco-Generative Design for Early Stages of Architecture: Vol 1

This book can be first considered as a complete synthesis of the EcCoGen ANR project (2011-2012), involving researchers from different French labs (including MAP) and domains, breaking major difficulties of the real-time generative design in the early stages of a pre-architectural project. Then the scope becomes larger, and the authors introduce major prospects following recent advances on natural and artificial evolution.

Xavier Marsault is a researcher in Informatics at the UMR MAP 3495 Laboratory in France. His work in the MAP-Aria team at ENSA Lyon focuses on generative and complex processes for modeling, simulation and decision-making in architecture and urban planning.
