Abstract
We describe the preliminary version of our investigative software, GGE
-- Generative Genetic Explorer, in which genetic operations interact
with AutoCAD to generate novel 3D forms for the architect. GGE allows
us to asess how evolutionary algorithms should be tailored to suit
Architecture CAD tasks.
