Designing Intelligence: The Principles Behind Computer-Aided Creativity

Principles Of Computer-Aided Design by Joe Rooney is a foundational and rigorous exploration of the mathematical, geometric, and conceptual frameworks that power the modern world of CAD. Rather than serving as a software manual, the book serves as a theoretical compass, offering readers a structured understanding of how computers assist in complex design processes. This technical yet accessible resource is ideal for students, engineers, architects, and researchers interested in the deep structure of design automation. With a clear, logical flow, the book breaks down the evolution of design tools into four core pillars: mathematical foundations, geometric modeling, analytical processes, and advanced methods of synthesis.
