This is really interesting, like a computer algebra system[1] but for geometry. Seems like it could be extended to cover the non-shape based documentation (material properties, design loads, etc) as well. One thing I've never seen is optimization techniques paired up with any sort of in-depth cost data. It's usually based on naïve extrapolations based on total material weight or volume, and doesn't take into account things like crane costs (a function of max component weight and building extents) local material availability, component fixed costs, number of connections, logistics costs, etc. There's a ton of low-hanging fruit in design optimization that you could pick before you even had to reach for AI-based methods, though the AI methods are obviously the long term future of the space.
