Story behind the development
In creating the “addLib U” app, we have developed our own middleware tool based on Apple’s QuartzComposer*. This middleware has allowed our designers to become heavily involved in the programming process. As a result, visual design guided the direction of app development. 


This style of development process has never been challenged. When designing a layout, designer sets certain parameters. Different variations of design are generated from how a parameter is set. Designer can set his/her own parameters and algorithm to create a design. We believe that this kind of designing process where the structure is involved in the part of design is definitely a new from of future design.  

*QuartzComposer: Mac-based visual programming software. Known as real time visual making tool. Recognized for its unique development style, where making a program is done by joining a flow charts called “patches.”.
