Gen-Motif is a generative design system that reimagines cultural heritage motifs through computational extraction, generation, and tessellation. At its core, the project explores how artificial intelligence can serve as a creative collaborator to connect the precision of data-driven pattern analysis with the nuance of human aesthetic judgment. The project creates a scalable tool for designers and researchers to synthesize visual patterns quickly and efficiently.
