Growing Cities Like Plants
A collaboration with the Sainsbury Laboratory of Cambridge University and the Cambridge University North West Cambridge development - Growing Cities LIke Plants was a research project in which we attempted to develop an algorithm that simulated the development of cities using metaphors from plant biology. The final exhibition consisted of a drawing robot that slowly drew the unfolding development of a fictional city.
