Randomness in architecture

During my career I have never seen randomness in architecture. A group of fourth year students created a project which uses randomness in their design process. By combining controls and randomness they are able to create forms which have a lot of variations but still have a logical composition. The script does something similar to what we are learning in p5js. They created parameters which the random values needed to follow like how far away can an object be from its origin. Multiple random boxes were stacked to create different megastructures and analyze different compositions. This allowed for fast form making and manipulation.
