Algorithmic Design of Brutalist Web Pages
Algorithmic Design of Brutalist Web Pages is a collection of outputs developed with the AWD system, that employs an algorithmic approach to create a system that generates web pages. The system gathers data from the Wikipedia API in order to populate the page with content, then the system analyses the content using a Natural Language Understanding network and lexicon-based approaches, retrieving from the content a series of usable parameters such as sentiments, emotions, colours, words and HTML tags count and frequency. After that, the system generates styles according to the previous analysis and applies those styles to the final generated page. This system may be accessed online here. This work as developed by José N. Rebelo under the supervision of Sérgio Rebelo and Artur Rebelo. You may read more about the system here.
