Digital system sequence including manufacturing information, negotiation with site information and connecting two cores.
• Digital prototype To explore organizational systems, we chose to work with a multi-agent system (Agent Based Systems), which offers ample possibilities to work with large population behavior. Agent Based Systems consists of computer systems composed of multiple agents that interact with each other and that present some degree of rule-based rudimentary intelligence (AI). By interacting together, agents can generate unexpected or unplanned intelligent behaviors, known as emerging behaviors. In nature, they can be seen in multiple relationships, for example, in the behavior of schools of fish, flocks of birds or the collective behavior of insects. This system gave us a platform of simultaneous interactions and negotiations that gave rise to emerging behaviors of self-organization with multiple centers. Proximity, alignment, cohesion, speed and distance to centers, were, among others,
STAGE 2 - Speculative project: Deployment of an organization system in a potential scenario.
the parameters considered for the study of such behaviors Processing software was chosen because it is an open source platform with a powerful graphical interface, which allowed to visualize the movement of all the interactions of the agents involved in the system.
Stage two focused on the application of the findings made during stage one, through the realization of a speculative project that sought to enhance the adaptive and organizational capacities of the system, taking it to an architectural scale. To test the system, the Thames River estuary in London was chosen as the setting. The extreme tidal oscillations that occur during the day generate large expanses of unusable land. This context is presented as an opportunity to test the adaptive capacities of the system. Therefore, the objective of this project is to inhabit an inhospitable territory with adaptable structures that manage to absorb the tidal variations. In this way, by connecting a series of structures it is possible to design an artificial geography that offers different possibilities of use and occupation. To test the system of organization on the surface of the estuary, the greatest digital challenge was how to integrate new external variables to existing ones, such as topography, tides, orientation and specific surface conditions. Once this was achieved, we also studied how the
multi-agent organization system could deliver geometric information to produce the physical prototype. For its part, the material prototype had to be scaled and become more complex, in addition to having to incorporate the new geometric information of the digital organization system. To achieve this, new components and their respective dependency hierarchies had to be incorporated. For example, what in stage one was ribbing, in stage two evolved into articulated mechanical arms based on ball joints and tensioners. Finally, the thesis project managed to integrate three fundamental aspects: 1) Assessment of environmental and site conditions 2) Territorial and organizational deployment 3) Geometric information for manufacturing. Thus, through the multi-agent code system, these variables were integrated into a choreography of optimization and simultaneous negotiation. This methodology of reciprocal work between information, subject matter and digital simulation is presented as a tool of high potential to promote new architectural approaches..
Reciprocity between material and digital prototype
The continuous exchange of information between the material and digital approaches allowed us to dig into both the understanding of the possibilities of the organizational system and the understanding of the physical model. This resulted in a more complex system, where each surface could be connected to another, generating a larger, morphologically continuous and geometrically coherent structure.
