Morphogenomic urban and architectural systems an investigation into informatics oriented evolution of form: the case of the A2 highway

Abstract

This research paper exemplifies upon a novel information integrated generativedesign method: Morphogenomics, being experimented with atHyperbody, TUDelft. Morphogenomics, a relatively new research area, which deals with the intricacies of morphological informatics. This paper furthermore discusses an ongoing Morphogenmoics oriented design-research case: the development of a Distributed Network-city along the A2 highway, Netherlands. The A2 highway, development is a live project seeking urban development on either side of this busy highway. Hyperbody, during the course of this research initiative developed a series of real-time interactive computational tools focusing upon the collaborative contextual generation of a performative urban and architectural morphology for the A2 highway. This research paper elaborates upon these computational techniques based Morphogenomic approach and its resultant outcomes.
