"We operate within evolutionary computation, a branch of artificial intelligence and machine learning that uses the basic rules of genetics and Darwin's natural selection logic to make predictions," explains architect Ivan Pazos.

"In this type of computing, a multitude of possible solutions to a problem are randomly combined," adds Pazos, who currently works for a Japanese architectural firm, "and a selection system is choosing the best results. This operation is repeated again and again until the algorithms get the most accurate results."
