Very interesting. It appears to generate a voroni mesh to resolve the structural forces. I can't tell from looking at this to what extent the overall shape is predefined by the requirements or generated by aerodynamic effects though.
The next step would be for it to interpret concept sketches. Anyone who has worked for a design firm will know that most of the people there are interpreting and documenting the concept sketches of a few senior designers. They never write a detailed list of requirements as it's much quicker to sketch what you want to achieve and describe the sketches in conversation with your staff than to try and describe it in writing. Designers are visual people and hate having to write documentation.
Clients write briefs, the brief for a skyscraper will probably stretch to a few thousand pages. But, as programmers will know too, you have to take some licence in interpreting them as they often contain a lot of contradictions.
