Introduction - SCOPE

1 (H) 1972 flashpoint

2 Turing's potential - Morphogenesis
3 origins of the dream
4 natural advantage
interests -> incentives to growth
5 morphogens
6 the autonomous design meme
(T) Deleuze from Delanda
(D) intensive
(D) Populational
(D) Topological
axioms for experiment
Chapter One - HISTORY AND STRUCTURE
(H) The Morphogenesis paper
(D) Morphogenesis in biology
relationship between the human and artificial
morphogenesis -> AI
human creativity
Machine intelligence
Generative Architecture

Community design

Genetic Algorithms
The AI Arch. dream
Watching the daisies grow
(DD) intensive
observing nature
(M) growth
hacking biology
(I) Akira
maths in nature
spiller - alchemy
T4 phage
alot of stuff from previous chapter can go in here
(P) understanding growth is the key to our understanding of the future of architecture

Artificial

(DD) populational
(M) community
the relevance of these ideas to the proposals for the engine.
klondike space
the information in form
nanotechnology
safety, control/valves feedback
hacking biology
nanotech the new tectonic
culture -> open source community
emergence
(P) an anti architect approach could create 'good' design
Order
phototropism
(M) shelter
(DD) topological
shelter and order
mecha relationship
Turing's understanding of system
GenDes Frame
Bill Hillier - space syntax
artificial ordering systems
Cellular Automata
SimCity
Kaas Oosterhuis

Fuzzy Logic
(P) simple rules ->great complexity
Experiment
morphogens > axioms
Methodology
link Deleuzers > tests
