    The future of CAD

    Whatz the clouds got to do with it ?

    leave a comment

    The cloud brings together the possibility of massive computational resources and connectivity in an

    unprecedented scale across a wide range of business, educational and entertainment activities.

    Are the Architects ready for the cloud?

    The answer is No. But, will they get there? Yes. Most likely, in the same wrong way theyadopted CAD to replicate the drawing board with CRT screens without consideration to the truepotential of computers. This was a big jump for many architects. It happened only because they wereassured that the Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) was better than the drawing board. Companies such asAmazon, Microsoft, Apple and Autodesk are all now busy building the rail roads in the kingdom inheaven in which platforms of great promise will dominate the next era of human dependence on

    computation. So, everyone will get there for sure.

    But what will design be in the cloud ?

    I believe that the cloud will initially be used in the same way that computers were used to replaceexisting PC based practices. PC bound CAD systems will soon be operating on cloud platforms. Speedand connectivity bonuses are good enough to lure most CAD dependent designers. But once they areall there, it is likely to transform the practice of design in way that it was transformed by the PC/CADrevolution. But then, without them realizing it, the clocks will be turned back on them. Designprocesses will go back a few billion years to where design began.

    Design will be as in nature

    Nature in itself is a massive computational environment that has evolved over billions of years. Its keyvirtues of building complexity based on shared code and ability to explore possibilities through randomexploration using highly evolved strategies and methods will come to dominate the art of design orchestrated by human designers, the way humans have harvested the potential of natures designcapability to turn grass in to wheat and rice and wolf into dog; primarily by manipulating a highlyevolved refined and structured design processes.

    Design as it is now

    Before we consider the lofty heights thatclouds can take us to, lets review where weare with CAD now. The turbochargeddrafting machines now connected to data

    bases powered graphically by games

    technologies have got us quite far. A diversset of capabilities and professional workpractices are now slowly coming together

    but mostly at the backend of the designprocess. But here it is too late, as all theimportant designs are already made andopportunities to make significantimprovements are limited. It is known thatmore than 80% of decisions and

    commitments are made in the early stages of the design process (shaded in green) where now

    computers play a very limited role.

    The codification and comodification of CAD

    Most CAD packages now handle the drudgery of 3D manipulation fairly well. The dark regions shown is dominated by code that reduce design labor ( most CAD companies have similar capabilities in thiarea). The push now, is into early stage design, where significant improvements can be made. Softwarlike Grasshopperand platforms like Vasariare now extending the reach of CAD into early stage designFurther up stream is generative design.

    What the clouds mean for generative design?

    It is like asking what gasoline means for your car? Generative design can drink it all all thecomputational capabilities that the cloud can provide. It will soon be possible to roll apparently dumb,random and computationally intensive approaches that nature has chosen in its great wisdom.Hopefully, it will be based on an open and shared genetic infrastructure so that knowledge generatewill not be lost but be shared and built upon.

    The fundamental change will be the ability to consider multiple possibilities in virtual environments. Insharp contrast to the singular and somewhat perturbed linear approach mastered by designers on

    account of their limited mental processing capabilities. The design processes now used by designers arbased on the limits of the processing capability of the human mind and its ability to consider only alarge but limited number of possibilities.Kasparov is no longer the champion of chess.

    The maturing of many CAD technologies has already greatly reduced the human labor in taking earlstage concepts to reality that is close to real, making it possible to consider multiple possibilities of greamaturity instead of dumping them at the end of a doodling process as part of an ancient designritual.
