of the central roles of the designer in TD is to co-evolveboth the design space and the objective space by iteratively generating new design artifacts byarranging different combinations of variable parameters and testing their performance [5]. This iswhat we term Forward Design, which occurs when a (team of) human(s) leads the designprocess and objective-design space co-evolution by manually generating design artifacts in thedesign space and subsequently evaluating them in the objective space. However, design featuringgenerative AI-based tools, i.e., Generative Design (GD), requires the human designer to take aninverse approach to co-evolving the design and objective spaces. GD tools prompt the designerto begin by computationally defining
