4 Generative Design Agents

This chapter describes a design agent model, called Generative Design Agent (GDA), whose computational processes are specifically developed for reasoning and designing in 3D virtual worlds. The agent model is wrapped around the design grammar, providing the mechanisms to sense and change the virtual world. Each GDA can be associated with a user of 3D virtual worlds and serves as his/her personal design agent to automatically and dynamically design places in virtual worlds, satisfying the person’s changing needs and capturing his/her style. By automating the generative design grammar application using GDAs, adaptive place design in 3D virtual worlds is realized.
