Over the last two decades, the use of agent-based models (ABMs) to model and simulate the
dynamics of complex systems has increased significantly among various scientific fields …

The similarities between the structures built by social insects and by humans have led to a
convergence of interests between biologists and architects. This new, de facto …

This paper presents research on the use of multi-agent systems (MAS) in architectural
design with the goal of both improving and partially automating the design process as well …

Abstract Concepts of swarm intelligence are becoming increasingly relevant in the field of
architectural design. An example is the use of agent-based modeling and simulation …

Digital design paradigms in architecture have been rooted in representational models which
are geometry centered and therefore fail to capture building complexity holistically. Due to a …

Most research on collective robotic construction (CRC) separates the architectural design
and robotic path planning phases of the overall construction process. Specifically, a …

Today, many urban design studios begin with the data collected and analyzed by others and
their abstraction is experientially distant from the place itself. New digital parametric methods …

In public opinion and on international political agendas the phenomenon of Smart Cities is
fast becoming an innovative response to the need to increase the efficiency of tomorrow's …

This article presents design research speculating on computationally enabled planning
approaches for urban sites where informal developments make conventional masterplans …

Accepted: 18 January 2022 Specialized architectural studies based on the swarm concept
have emerged for nearly two decades. The formation formula based on swarm intelligence …
