Writing rules for space is a generative architecture endeavor. It really is a question asked to generative artists: what do the concepts, research, and techniques you usually work with yield in an explorable textureless 3D environment?

The artists selected to become [anaver.se](https://anaver.se) generative architects are known to interrogate our representations of space through an algorithmic practice. Writing code to structure space is far from new. But walking the bleeding edge between utility and conceptual research takes an alliance of skills and reflectivity that are seldom found in the traditional artist milieu. As a practice, it is akin to building a tools factory with code, except that the means produced are not machines but proposals for how to organize space.

The algorithms that have been written by the artists all interrogate our imaginaries of what three dimensional spaces have been like over the past thirty years. They’re mostly boxes, but not only. Mostly regular structures, but not only. Mostly symmetry, but not only. The underlying question is always one of purpose: what do you see yourself doing in a space that is shaped by deterministic rules enforced by a machine?
