2. The Uniqueness of Generative Design in Subject, Object, Delegative, and Relationships

(1) Subject of Generative Design: The subject of generative design is not an individual but a combination of humans and non-human agents.

(2) Object of Generative Design: Any object can be a design target. Design objects include not only physical entities but also technical design objects. At the object level, it encompasses multimodal outputs, such as sound, images, 3D shapes, and videos.

(3) Delegative Perspective: Generative Design reflects system autonomy results that are random and independent of human intervention. Humans transfer part or all subsequent control to the system.

(4) Relationships: Generative Design has ability to directly connect customer needs with design purpose.
