Is the widespread adoption of existing design software appropriated from other disciplines limiting architects' potential for pattern‐making? Could the development of complex code applied to equally complex pattern problems open up alternative avenues of expression? Mike Silver illustrates work by himself and other architects and artists that suggest that new kinds of software‐driven pattern recognition and simulation computer models are opening up the field.
