ABSTRACT
We radicalize the concept. The radical concept contains precise data and is described in a few lines of script. We usually establish a point cloud first. The point cloud of reference points forms our personal universe. Then we draft simple rules. Simple rules are the drivers of the reference points to communicate with their immediate neighbors. We internalize swarm logic. The flock of nodal points behave bottom-up to become the members of the swarm of building components. Our signature design strategy is based on our unique concept of Powerlines. Powerlines inform and spatially organize top-down a selection of nodes to shape the feature lines of the swarm. Scripting procedures and powerlines together conceive the complex adaptive system. We build our buildings as input output devices. We shape the building body. The input output processing takes the shape of a building body with a consistent body plan. In this dynamic design process we exchange data bilaterally. The members of the swarm of design experts exchange their lean data bilaterally, but only those data that are crucial for mutual understanding. There is no leader in the swarm, all experts are co-designers being responsible for decisions identified as their own field of expertise.
