color tracking and emergent patterns.
a voronoi formation emerges and is transformed in cellular morphing and emergent tessellations through simple behavioral rules without the use of any geometrical description. The decision to work with the Popular (the last 5 years among the architectural cirlce) Voronoi diagram was to demonstrate that in the MSc Computing and Design the main focus is to 'deep dive' (at the level of local rules) in any system and observe (and many times be surprised by) its behavior. Algorithmic thinking exploits the potentials for a different methodology in architectural design. Our profound engagement with the machine (computer) allows us to code design in order to recode architecture, in a constant haunt of the epistemic autonomy of the model for a truly emergent behavior.
The algorithm is based on Paul Coates' original code developed in NetLogo and uses simple rules in a field of interrelated elements. Visitors of the show are mapped in an abstract domain where their potentials amplified in a novel way and the experimentation or if you like the game starts in a form of a constructive and positive feedback loop... users can alter at the course of their exploration the rules through a simple interface. Creativity is maximized as the emergence of new patterns reveals affordances for novel behaviors.
