What is it about?

Development in the study of city expansion, through biomorphic generation, could potentially assist in the design of a transportation system that will accommodate expansion whilst contributing to an ecologically balanced growth. Our research focuses on a section of a design framework which looks at how generative systems can be implemented in an architectural design of a transportation network that will respond to the site’s projected future growth. We suggest that by integrating biomorphic generative systems into the design process we can generate designs that respond to the surrounding context and urban growth.

Why is it important?

A biomorphic growth model can develop an infrastructural design that investigates and evaluates each sketch by the compatibility to structural elements. The understanding of the relationship between the growth model coding and design integration shows to be a key to a seamless integration of biomorphic growth model and infrastructural design.

Perspectives

Exploration of biomorphic growth models using 'Processing' was an excellent choice for our research as the software was designed for artists with basic knowledge of computer coding, the software allows for basic and advance simulations to be generated and exported for further development
