The Bizarre, Bony-Looking Future of Algorithmic Design

What you’re looking at are parts for a motorcycle made from algorithms in Autodesk’s software. According to Autodesk’s resident futurist Jordan Brandt, computers can help you create the ideas in your head faster and better.
Whether designing a building or a trashcan with certain criterion and aspects we want, computers with algorithms can help design them better because unlike people, computers have no bias. They simply have the goal to make what you want. “But a machine-Autodesk’s software, in this instance-is an unbiased agent.”[It’s] simply looking to optimize the criteria we set forward”.

With Autodesk’s algorithmic software, lighter and more organic looking motorcycle parts can be made. Not only will they make the bike perform better, but also look better. The software can also be used to design much better and smaller lattice structures for medical applications; working far better compared to other medical lattice structures that exist.

I find it interesting and inspiring that parts for machines and bodies that look so artistic and organic can also perform better than other parts. I used to believe that art and strength cannot mix well together. Either it be artistic and fragile or ugly and sturdy. I think it’s great that Autodesk is finding a way to bridge the gap between art and function along with man and machine. It will help creators out there to create.
