PROJECT BRIEF The purpose of this workshop was to introduce algorithmic design as an effective tool for optimization and form generation purpose to create “Swarmâ€? behaviours of multiple agents, under the concept of “Emergenceâ€?, referring to the universal way in which small parts of system are driven by very simple behaviors to produce self-orgaQL]HG HYHQW EDVHG Ă€HOG DQG FRKHUHQW RUJDQL]Dtions with their own distinctly different behaviors, to undergo formal growth and multiple cycles of evolution. This behaviors were later developed and transformed into geometric forms using multiple softwares and computational systems

The combination of gravity and separation helps the spider grid to slowly fall down and reach the bottom of the box with keeping its shape by having a certain distance based on the separation between the agents.

Here we have the same rules as previous one but, the separation is too high and coh is low which makes the grid to push it self up and attach to the top of the box, although we have gravity.

In this example we wanted to have more ripples in the edge .So, the sep is to high in central ring and there is no force in the edge ring. The agents in the center move fast from each other to the fast highest distance they can have.

Here we have two bodies, which work as a swarm.Actually, the simple cohesion and separation variables both inside a single body and between bodies help them to control each other.

In this example the effort has been made to have more event based rules for grid to organize itself. Two rings in the center and edge of the main grid and the environmental box play the key role to shape the form of the grid. When the central ring reaches the top of the box is the moment that the ZKROH VKDSH LV À[HG 6R DW WKDW PRPHQW VRPH springs would break and create some holes which cause the main hole to come down and form itself as another hole of the surface.

The two blue rings play the main part in the grid self-organization. Huge separation in the central ring force the grid to move in horizontal direction .
The box also plays a significant role to shape the grid. When the central ring reach the box faces, it continues to move to the bottom while the other rings goes to the top. Therefore, the grid expands in the vertical
The rings lead the springs and agents to move in the box boundaries and gradually shape the grid.
When the upper ring reach the top of the box, some springs breaks in the body of the grid and several holes are created.
These holes help the grid to change its topology. Agents and springs move again to form the grid differently.
Some tiny springs are made between the agents of the upper ring and make it like a big hole in the center of the grid.
The separation in the central ring makes it bigger and biger .Due to the forces it makes the Agents in the top ring get close to each other. Two rings move and make the whole grid move till they get fixed to the box.
The big ring moves and expands to shape itself again according to the boundary box.
