Agent Generated Architecture (1997)
article⁄Agent Generated Architecture (1997)
abstract⁄This paper will describe a behavior based artificial intelligenceexperiment in computer generated architectural design and willexplain the internal representations and procedures of an agentbased autonomous system. This is a departure from traditionalAI and architectural topdown approaches, allowing hundredsof agents to work simultaneouslybuilding, manipulating, anddismantling their environment. Individual agents work incollaboration, in disjunction or autonomously. Architectural design is perhaps most commonly described by thearchitect as consisting of the ability to see the whole picture, toorganize, to collect, to juggle, to manage, and to maintainmultiple conflicting goals and values. Architecture by the preceding definition is hierarchicaland topdown in nature. The agent based experiment in this paper presents an alternativedesign process, involving multiple autonomous agents acting distributively. The agentsobjects move through the design landscape, simultaneously collaborating, building,degenerating, and transforming their world.
