I am mainly interested in computational design. I am now focused on architecture (previously on product design).
I am currently interested in collaborating with researchers on some of the technologies that I have developed:
1) Genoform - Generative form exploration
2) Layout problem - for rooms
I have no interest in theoretical methods.
Recently I launched an online teaching initiative to train students globally in emerging design technologies - Digital Design Academy.
I recently taught a master class on generative design in the University of South Australia - Adelaide, where I am currently based.
I am currently consolidating my many years of research on generative design for publications. I am also and developing both teaching material and software around generative design technologies.
I blog about generative design in generativedesign.wordpress.com and have started a Linked-in group on generative design.
My other interests are in mass customization, color selection (www.genopal.com) and deployable structures. I am also interested in developing intuitive design methods for structural design - aimed at enabling design students to design structural form without calculations.

Papers by Sivam Krish
Though this technology is still in its infancy, and the design philosophies and work practices are yet to be developed; its adaptation by design schools in the last few years has been nothing short of spectacular. The sheer exuberance of forms generated by this new process is unfortunately overshadowing some of the key understanding and frame works that need to be developed and taught at the same time. This is one of the rare cases where adaptation of a technology is happening well before the development of theoretical frameworks, posing some significant challenges to design educators.
We attempted to develop a frame work for teaching the philosophy and methods using a set of exercises aimed at developing generative designs skills in a way that can be used in the practice of Industrial Design and Architecture. The course was based on a particular implementation of generative design and was taught over a period of two week as master class in the University of South Australia to students from Industrial Design and Architecture.
Students were introduced to Genoform which is generative plug-in for SolidWorks and they used Pepkura to fabricate the designs using laser cutting. The aim was to take the students from conception to fabrication using generative design as a comprehensive design method.

structures, particularly the advantages that may be gained by altering the member densities in regions
of hi-compression. It is proved analytically from buckling considerations that increasing the number of
members is a structurally more efficient strategy for resisting compressive forces than the design
strategy of increasing the size of the section. The structural efficiency that may be gained by design
strategy is demonstrated with an illustration.
