Explicit Grids

Curve intersections In this example I used the curve intersections with an attractor point and curve attractor to create this set of matrix. During the search process for solutions, I applied the concept of depth foremost by ensuring that the matrix would be definitive of succeeding and be feasible with certain types of combinations. Following that, I considered the breadth approach which was to create several matrixes by using various combinations which might lead to promising and successful solutions. Thereafter, I selected the best few which would best describe nature to generative systems and antigenic structures.

The first set of matrix I had manipulated used the explicit grids with a combination of an image sampler and multiple functions. During the search process for solutions, I applied the concept of depth foremost by ensuring that the matrix would be definitive of succeeding and be feasible with certain types of combinations. Following that, I considered the breadth approach which was to create several matrixes by using various combinations which might lead to promising and successful solutions. Thereafter, I selected the best few which would best describe nature to generative systems and antigenic structures.

The design composition of this matrix reflects the concept of generative structures whereby patterns are produced by following a basic set of rules. In this case, the rules have led to the creation of a varied form. Further manipulation of the number slider reveals the complexity and intricacy of the design composition during the process of evolution. As such, the matrix is likened to an initial configuration while the slider reflects observations in an evolution process.

Similarly in this design, the concept of generative structures is present as the repetitive patterns have been instructed by a set of basic rules. Such a generative form is determined by the initial state evolving into a more fixated and predictable composition as illustrated by the stages of this evolution. The interactions amongst the various inputs, associations and outputs are relative to the emergence of the behaviour in the patterns or design. This framework allows information exchange leading to interesting outcomes and visualizations.

A similar process of shape development which is enabled by computation is digital morphogenesis. Recent discourse on digital morphogenesis reveal the links to a number of concepts such as emergence and form-finding. Digital morphogenesis in architecture has an analogous affiliation to the evolution of nature relating largely to the progressive development.
