Thanks for having this video posted. Informative and amazing. Indeed, algorithmic.

This video was making me very angry until the review and conclusions portion. Thanks for honest sharing after obvious love and time spent pursuing a theory!

@DavidMTRutten I think meta-architecture is a huge word to use behind the word almost. From a deleuzian materialist sense meta means expressing space through psychic automatism which is very different from Algorithmic architecture which is almost repacing the subconscious with a computers logic based consious. I think that so far it is as much creative as anything in architecture but when people actually learn psychic automatism in expressing space as in jazz or art it wont touch that.

@Houshalter This video comes from a design class taught with a post-modern pedagogy. The random words are a critique of the professors insistence we use a concept to design. I was trying to point out the arbitrariness of the process - looking back it is a bit of a straw-man, and I could see how it is confusing.

The video is very confusing, but I get most of it. Whats with the random words at the beginning though?

@Incrue Use of space could definitely be a factor (although this example is very simple and to my memory does not use it). It uses a genetic algorithm, which does not delete bad designs, only lowers their chance of continuing to exist. You do not want to throw out all bad designs because, with a few tweaks, they might become a good design.

@zeffii It could most definitely use a bit of refactoring (and breaking it down into classes would help too)
