“…An analysis of 22 tasks used in studies of computational creativity is summarised here (Cohen 1999;Colton 2008;Cook et al 2013;French and Hofstadter 1991;Gabora and Kitto 2013;Gero and Sosa 2008;Hemberg et al 2007;Hsiao and Chen 1997;Jadhav et al 2012;Lewis and Parent 2000;Machado and Pereira 2012;McGraw and Hofstadter 1993;McGreggor et al 2010;Norton et al 2013;Orsborn et al 2006;Pereira and Cardoso 2006;Pérez et al 2007;Ross et al 2006 ;Saunders and Gero 2004;Schnier and Gero 1998;Sosa 2005). Since we are interested in developing design tasks applicable in studies of humans and computational systems, comparing the ways in which these fields define the experimental settings to study creativity reveals important features to consider.…”

“…The level of task complexity in computational cases is generally lower than in design cases as judged by the mean length and level of detail of the problem statements, with a vast majority consisting of a single sentence, i.e., "To create new and unique vehicles representing the language of design for coupes, pickups, and SUVs" (Orsborn et al 2006); "Goal is to blend two domains and interpret the newly generated instances according to an unambiguous process" (Pereira and Cardoso 2006); "Automatic synthesis of aesthetically pleasing images" (Ross et al 2006); "Design adaptive vehicle dashboard panels" (Gero and Sosa 2008).…”

Studies of design creativity have underlined the importance of divergent reasoning and visual reasoning in idea generation. Connecting these two key design skills, this paper presents a model of divergent visual reasoning for the study of creativity. A visual divergence task called ShapeStorm is demonstrated for the study of creative ideation that can be applied to humans as well as computational design systems. The model is examined in a study with human subjects, a computational stochastic generator, and a geometrical analysis of the solution space. The main significance of this task is that it offers a straightforward means to define a simple design task that can be used across research studies. Several scenarios for the application of ShapeStorm for the study of creativity are advanced.

-So as to create innovative car silhouettes, we propose in this paper a model based on an Interactive Genetic Algorithm using an encoding of a design solution by a Fourier analysis approach. This model permits the designer to browse through generations of car profiles from an initial population of existing silhouettes. By qualitatively assessing each individual, the designer converges towards solutions complying with his/her requirements and preferences, possibly creating novelty and generating surprise. We describe here tests for assessing the efficiency of this innovative design platform. These tests are mainly based on a similarity index, a similarity measure being the perceived distance between two cars silhouettes. The results highlight a good convergence toward a satisfactory solution. In addition, this design process turns out to be very flexible because of the local and intuitive modifications allowed on a given individual solution at any moment of the design process.

“…As a result, issues inherent in extending the shape grammar formalism to include curved shapes have received little attention. Despite this, applications of shape grammars on curved shapes have been introduced, for example Orsborn et al (2006) explore the application of shape grammars to the generation of cross-over vehicle designs. Similarly, implementations have been introduced that enable the application of shape grammars on curved shapes, for example McCormack and Cagan (2003) describe a shape grammar interpreter in which the application of shape operations is facilitated through the definition of representative straight-line shapes.…”

Research into shape grammar implementation has largely been concerned with rectilinear shapes and there has been little research concerning implementation on curved shapes. This reflects developments of the shape grammar formalism which has traditionally been defined according to straight lines. In this paper, issues regarding the application of shape grammars on curved shapes are investigated. This investigation builds on algorithms for implementing shape operations on curved shapes, in which the embedding properties of parametric curves are compared according to their intrinsic properties. In the paper, the algorithms are implemented in a shape grammar interpreter that enables the application of shape grammars on shapes composed of quadratic Bézier curves. The interpreter is illustrated via application of a shape grammar that generates Celtic knotwork patterns. Implementing shape grammars on curved shapes highlights difficulties that arise when the shape grammar formalism is applied to curved shapes, and the paper concludes with a discussion that explores these difficulties.
