| summary |
Rapid urbanization has led to the deterioration of urban living environments and reduced urban populations’ access to green space. This has not only affected urban residents’ health but also decimated biodiversity in urban environments. In this study, we respond to both issues by introducing a new approach to façade design focusing on microbial biodiversity on building surfaces. Based on the results of an earlier empirical study, we use a custom Cellular Automata (CA) system as generative design strategy to explore the relationships between microbial community diversity and several design factors relevant to creating favourable building surface conditions, in particular surface texture, substrate material characteristics and sunlight exposure. By translating these factors into localized CA design parameters, we create micro-habitats supporting microbial biodiversity in bio-receptive façade elements. Beyond generating desired physical shapes, we employ CA to generate expressive patterns as visually comprehensible articulations of invisible scales of microbial growth. |
