Generative Submission Requirements
When submitting to the Generative Design Competition keep in mind that your submission will be evaluated on multiple dimensions, your generative design is judged together with its aesthetic appeal, its originality and its technical complexity. Applicants should send high-resolution images of the generative design, showing the design from different angles and perspectives, together with a textual presentation of their work. The main image is especially important and should either be isolated on white background or be a highly professional photograph. In addition to images, product manuals, initial setup instructions and maintenance guides could further be uploaded as support documents.
Item | Dimensions | Format | Notes |
---|---|---|---|
Main Image Required |
JPEG | The Key Visual should encapsulate the generative design's conceptual elegance and computational complexity. A high-resolution rendering or image that captures the design's innovative form—resulting from algorithmic processes or AI assistance—will serve as a compelling introduction. It should be presented against a neutral backdrop to accentuate its unique geometry and structure, ensuring immediate visual impact. | |
Optional Image 1 Required |
72 DPI |
JPEG | Showcase Image 1 should illustrate the generative process, revealing the design's evolution from initial parameters to final form. Display the stages of algorithmic development or parametric variations, offering insight into the flexibility and range of the design's possibilities. The image should communicate the dynamic nature of the design process and the depth of exploration involved. |
Optional Image 2 Recommended |
72 DPI |
JPEG | Showcase Image 2 must zoom in on the intricate details that generative techniques make possible. Highlight the complex patterns, textures, or structural innovations that are unique to computational design. This close-up should invite appreciation of the precision and sophistication that algorithmic methods contribute to the overall design. |
Optional Image 3 Recommended |
72 DPI |
JPEG | Showcase Image 3 should place the generative design within its intended context or environment, demonstrating functionality and interaction. Whether it's a piece of architecture, a product, or a piece of art, the image should convey how the design harmonizes with or transforms its surroundings, emphasizing the practical application of these advanced design methods. |
Optional Image 4 Recommended |
72 DPI |
JPEG | Showcase Image 4 needs to capture the generative design in action, focusing on user engagement or the design's impact on its environment. This could be a depiction of people interacting with the design or the design's role within a larger system. The goal is to showcase the design's usability and the experiential quality it brings to its users or space. |
Documentation PDF Document Highly Optional |
A4 Page Size |
Documentation should include a comprehensive explanation of the generative, algorithmic, parametric, or AI-assisted design process. It should detail the objectives, the computational techniques employed, and the rationale behind the chosen algorithms or parameters. The document must elucidate the design's innovative aspects, providing a clear understanding of its technological underpinnings and conceptual depth. | |
Video Video / Audio File Highly Optional |
AVI | The video should present the generative design in a narrative that elucidates its development and functionality. It should visually demonstrate the algorithmic processes and showcase the design's adaptability or transformation. The video must complement the static images by providing a dynamic representation of the design's interaction with its environment or users, emphasizing its innovative and functional aspects. |
