Basic Page Template

Pages in designcomputation.org are as short as possible and focus only on computational design taxonomies, cultures and ontologies. A page might be a simple definition that gradually evolves to have Motivation & Background, Structures and Applications with many detailed subtopics. Check on the category pages for the database or create a new one if existent.
