Description

We develop appropriate architectural representations (modeling methods, simulation and systems of notation) that integrate models of robot mechanics and its control with relevant biological models (e.g., projection of growth, leaf-cover and structural strength models) to support the design, envisioning and evaluation of architectural flora robotica propositions in terms of structural and environmental performance and spatial potential. Data of flora robotica will be used to calibrate models and provide existing starting states from which to generate propositional simulations of growth towards desired architectural states. Architectural design rules derived from botanical rules of growth will be established.
