An evolutionary basic design tool
Ankara : The Department of Graphic Design and the Institute of Economics and Social Sciences of Bilkent University, 2010.Thesis (Ph. D.) -- Bilkent University, 2010.Includes bibliographical references leaves 115-121.As a creative act, design aims at achieving innovative solutions to fulfill the
requirements provided in the problem definition. In recent years, computational
methods began to be used not only in design presentation but also in solution
generation. The study proposes a design methodology for a particular basic design
problem on the concept of emphasis. The developed methodology generates solution
alternatives by carrying out genetic operations used in evolutionary design. The
generated alternatives are evaluated by an objective function comprising an artificial
neural network. The creative potential of the methodology is appraised by comparing
the outputs of test runs with the student works for the same design task. In doing so,
three different groups of students with diverse backgrounds are used.Akbulut, DilekPh.D
