Lindenmayer Systems in Architecture   1/15
 
 
   

Can nature’s organic growth processes as described by Lindenmayer Systems function as generators of architectural design? How can L-Systems be applied to the production of architectural form? Could L-Systems serve additional functions such as, for instance, the creation of organizational logic, the segmentation of space, or the development of a structural system?

The first part of this project explores methods for visualizing L-Systems code and considers which characteristics of a design are intrinsic to the logic of L-Systems. The second part of the project examines the modularity inherent in L-Systems and considers methods of environmental interaction. The L-Systems logic is further expanded to include aspects of parametric systems.
