article⁄Pluri-Potential Branching System (2008)
abstract⁄In contemporary construction industry, parametric softwares are often employed in design processes of rationalization and postrationalization where, given a certain project, the answer to specific problems is required to actualize the desired shape problemsolving approach. This paper outlines a research project intended to develop a generative approach to digital design where the employment of parametric and algorithmic tools provide the possibility to set up integral multiparametric systems organizational as well as geometrical and structural aspects are investigated and, in parallel, they inform each other. The paper unfolds through constant reference to natural systems and, more specifically, develops the notion of pluripotential systems deriving principle from the interaction between biological processes and computation. The results address the shift from monoparametric problemsolving approaches to a generative problemcaring process where the integration of multiple system logics contribute to the development of a virtual pluripotential set up. Finally, the paper explore the generative interdependency between structural, geometrical, organizational and computational logics of a system studying the manifold potentials of branching structures in the attempt to explore the emergent synergy between biological processes, computation and architectural design.
