summary	It is understand the physical world is composed of various complex systems which behave and evolve in their own way. Through observing the motion of matters in physical world, we can start to understand various swarm behaviours, and these behaviours becomes a very rich library of references when exploring the potential of generative design. In the last 2 years, a new design procedure has been introduced in the digital architectural design studio of ** University. It does not start from site investigation or document research, but starts from any kind of physical experiment which the students are interested in. The students are asked to simulate the experiments in computer with software or scripts wrote by themselves. In the final stage, the students gather information through on-site investigation, and then use the digital tools they have developed to generate architectural design. Since the physical world is composed of huge amount of individual objects, all experiments explored in this design studio demonstrate certain swarm behaviours. These behaviours could be similar to that of the complex systems in architecture, or could imply new possibilities of organization in architecture.
