Illustration of the Design Process – Computational Elements

This set of MCQs helps students to learn about illustration of the design process – computational elements, which is the application of computational strategies to the design process. While designers traditionally rely on intuition and experience to solve design problems, computational design aims to enhance that process by encoding design decisions using a computer language.
