Morphogenesis
Morphogenesis is a process in architecture where design shapes and forms are created by using rules and patterns found in nature, such as how leaves grow or how shells form. This approach helps architects make buildings that can adapt to their environment, use less energy, and respond to changes in weather or light. By studying how living things grow and change shape, designers use digital tools to create building forms that are efficient and unique. Morphogenesis in architecture often leads to structures that look organic and can perform better in terms of airflow, light, and temperature control.
