Design and Computation
Associate Dean, School of Architecture and Planning
http://architecture.mit.edu/people/profiles/prknight.html

Since the early 1980s Terry Knight's work has focused on the use of shape grammars and other computational systems for design exploration. She is examining characteristics of computational systems - for example, their expressive power, predictability, representational constraints, and emergent properties - and the consequences of these for design.
