Swarm Intelligence: Architecture of Multi-agent Systems, Neil Leach & Roland Snooks, 2010
Swarm Intelligence based (http://chemoton.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/abc-newspaper-article-swarm-intelligent-based-text-mining1.jpg) Swarm logic is indeed one of the new approaches in emerging to describe a form or a system in many aspect. The idea of swarm intelligence basically is a “population” of local interactions to the environment in a greater amount that create a global system.

Critical Essay: “Digital Cities”- Neil Leach
The 21st century has brought a different style of architecture. This is Parametricism, defined by avant-garde structures and the use of new tools and techniques to produce seamless fluidity in buildings. Not only do these tools aid to draft the models, but they also generate designs. Parametric design proposes an ordered complexity and at [...]
