This growth process relies upon a set of rewrite rules, a map axiom and a geometric interpreter which is integrated with a 3D simulated environment. The outcome of the growth process is a digital surface in 3D space which has grown within and in response to its environment. We have developed a complementary evolutionary algorithm that is able to take over the task of generating the rewrite rules set for a growth process. Using a quantitative multiobjective fitness function that evaluates a variety of surface properties, the integrated system (evolutionary algorithm and growth process) can explore and generate diverse and interesting surfaces with a resemblance of organic form. The algorithms have been implemented to create a design tool for architects called Genr8.
