   Hint

   Think about how data influences decisions.

2. 2.

   Define generative design in your own words.

   Hint

   Consider how it differs from traditional design approaches.

3. 3.

   What is generative design?

   • A type of 3D printing
   • An AI-driven design process
   • A new construction material

   Hint

   Focus on the role of AI in this process.

4. 4.
