The methodenables the designer both to produce ‘approximations’ of freeform designs in a top-down manner or to generate ‘candidate’ designs in a bottom-up process. It addresses the challenge in the field of design engineering to generate architectural surfaces which are complex, yet simple and economical to construct. The method is introduced and the application to aspecific material, concrete,and the material product BubbleDeck,is described through a prospective case study, a roof structure in the outskirts of Mexico City. This paper records the first steps in which the design methodology was verified through real world prototyping. date: 2013 date_type: published publisher: Universität der Künste Berlin official_url: https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=Gd9pEAAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&source=gbs_ViewAPI&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q&f=false full_text_type: other language: eng verified: verified_manual elements_id: 1055036 isbn_13: 9783844268454 lyricists_name: Jonas, Katrin lyricists_id: KJONA89 actors_name: Jonas, Katrin actors_name: Donadello, Ivan actors_id: KJONA89 actors_id: IDONA64 actors_role: owner actors_role: impersonator full_text_status: restricted series: Design Modelling Symposium publication: Rethinking Prototyping Proceedings of the Design Modelling Symposium Berlin 2013 volume: 4 place_of_pub: Berlin, Germany event_title: 4th Design Modelling Symposium Berlin “Rethinking Prototyping” event_location: Berlin event_dates: 28 September 2013 - 02 October 2013 institution: 4th Design Modelling Symposium Berlin “Rethinking Prototyping” book_title: Rethinking Prototyping: Proceedings of the 4th Design Modelling Symposium Berlin editors_name: Gengnagel, C editors_name: Kilian, A editors_name: Nembrini, J editors_name: Scheurer, F citation: Jonas, K; Kobayashi, P; Shepherd, P; (2013) From Generic to Specific: Prototyping a Computational Growth Mode.
