The Self-Organization of Stuff

The common description of the configuration of stuff in a room, one of order (tidy) and chaos (messy), fails to explain the phenomenon that artifacts create structures around people and activities in a space, with both functional and cognitive properties. This form of organization, that is recognizable on various scale levels, emerges...

Hyper-morphology: Experimentations with bio-inspired design processes for adaptive spatial re-use

This article is a newer version of a paper originally published in the eCAADe 2013 Conference Proceedings Computation & Performance. Hyper-Morphology is an on-going research outlining a bottom-up evolutionary design process based on autonomous cellular building components. The research interfaces critical operational traits of the natural world ...

Hyper-Morphology: Experimentations with bio-inspired design processes for adaptive spatial re-use

Hyper-Morphology is an on-going research outlining a bottom-up evolutionary design process based on autonomous cellular building components. The research interfaces critical operational traits of the natural world (Evolutionary Development Biology, Embryology and Cellular Differentiation) with Evolutionary Computational techniques driven design...

Interdisciplinary process driven performative morphologies: A morphogenomic approach towards developing context aware spatial formations

Architectural praxis is in continuous state of change. The introduction of information technology driven design techniques, constantly updating building information modeling protocols, new policy demands coupled together with environmental regulations and cultural fluctuations are all open-ended dynamic phenomena within which contemporary...

Evolving Biologically Inspired Classifiers

This thesis argues that natural complex systems can provide an inspiring example for creating software which incorporates emergent, self-organizing and adaptive properties. The advantages of complex sys- tems are their natural resilience, redundancy and adaptivity. A generalization of neural networks and boolean networks called computational...
