Abstract
A designer should be able to express their intentions with a design tool. This paper describes an evolutionary design tool that enables the architect to directly interact with the encoding of designs they find aesthetically pleasing. Broadening interaction beyond simple evaluation increases the amount of feedback and bias a user can apply to the search. Increased feedback will have the effect of directing the algorithm to more fruitful areas of the search space. We conduct user trials on an interface for making localised changes to an individual and evaluate if it is capable of directing search. Examination of the locality of changes made by the users provides an insight into how they explore the search space.
