Self-similarity in formal architectural generation. Studies of evolutionary and dynamic morphology

Abstract

Since the 1960s, it has been adverted that when dealing with an entity endowed with structure, initially there will be an attempt to determine its formal equivalences within the transformation processes that the entity undergoes during the course of its evolution, due to those transformations leaving intact the structural relations that constitute the entity. Accordingly, the evolution of form was explored departing from the principle of self-similarity and obtaining a vision of the entities observed in terms of from recursion, similarity, and transformation. Descriptions and mathematical models were used for the simulation of ramified structures, in order to synthesize the reality of a natural phenomenon and to appropriate its structures.
