Conclusion Critical steps: – Interpretation of properties – Efficient generation with guaranteed results (CSP) or not (Metaheuristics) – Take into account the direct modifications, but keep the consistency with the result of the generation step Generalization to the complex shapes: – Features of complex shapes ? – Sketching – Relevant combination of textual and gestural interactions Need to collaborate with qualified people: – artists, architects, designers, etc. 15
