Abstract

In this paper, we present an exploration of digital morphogenesis in architecture, using a composite Cellular Automata (CA). This model allows us to produce a vast array of different spatial topologies by evolving the boundaries of spatial units. This approach focuses on the formation of spatial patterns, where their characteristics emerge as consequence of the evolution of the system, rather than being prescribed by design. The experiment presented her investigates whether the composite CA is capable of generating aggregate spatial units to match the characteristics of specific spatial configurations.
