[BIO] Computational Design Process A + B

How can we achieve the computational simulation of matter and energy, linked to the production of form, without first making the form itself?

This is a generative design scheme research project, which contemplates the computational, mathematical, biological and physical simulation stages, with the aim of imitating and representing through a graphic programming algorithm and geometry, a branched natural fractal growth system, from the physiological and behavioral analogy of a coral of the genus Acropora.

This formal system of flows, was generated from the incorporation of the "Agent-based modeling", a type of approach to architectural design contemporary that implies concepts of integration and final geometric materialization of the relationship of entities. The main aspect, however, was to link each of these individual entities in a system capable of providing a generation-based synthesis in the way as a consequence and in response to qualitative external variables through quantitative control variables. The research developed from this method can allow constant feedback, integration and model building complexes in a particular computational design process for the architectural design practice and also no limited to the last mentioned approach.
