Proliferation

Designers and Architects usually perceive

the elements in buildings as being rigid and lifeless.

Materiality in the realm of design is treated as an

additional skin rather than the main component that

affects the overall shape. Similar to human skin, the

materials that are chosen to be the second layer

of the design repel and protect from any exterior

inhabitants that can invade and grow. However, one

cannot be entirely certain whether these materials

were designed to attract colonies of different species

or not. These species can then be used as a building

system that can be adaptive and transformative

in its environment and the geometrical shape that it

strives on.

The design of this thesis aims to explore

various geometrical components on a horizontal

surface that can host different kinds of species and

promote growth in a controlled state. The controlled

state can be achieved by simulating biological growth

more accurately to promote colonisation of multispecies,

taking into account the many biological

and environmental dynamics involved. This thesis

will assess the potential of agent-based modelling

(ABM) in predicting the growth of species on material

surfaces to achieve a level of bioreceptivity1.
