Abstract

This project shows a future city design/research project for an existing city in the desert southwest of the United States of America. The project, Isomorphic City, set in the year 2087 develops a truly customizable and ever-adapting computational approach to the built environment. The project was shaped by environmental criteria and social media. Part of the challenge was to design digital methodologies that could simulate this scenario in as live a way as possible, incorporating real-time, live data into the equation. Form was the result of inputted parameters verses the making of form in an object-like fashion. Going from a rule based way of simulating the complex urban condition to a more human agent-based approach based on collective intelligence and social behaviour patterns.
