Abstract

In this paper, we introduce a composite Cellular Automata (CA) to explore digital morphogenesis in architecture. Consisting of multiple interleaved one dimensional CA, our model evolves the boundaries of spatial units in cross sectional diagrams. We investigate the efficacy of this approach by systematically varying initial conditions and transition rules. Simulation experiments show that the composite CA can generate aggregate spatial units to match the characteristics of specific spatial configurations, using a well-known architectural landmark as a benchmark. Significantly, spatial patterns emerge as a consequence of the evolution of the system, rather than from prescriptive design decisions.
