Emergence, or evolutionary optimisation, involves harnessing evolutionary processes for not only the design of buildings, but also the composition of new materials and structural design. In doing so, architecture aspires to a new level of complexity as it seeks to match the perfection of systems of the natural world. Compiled by the directors of the Emergence and Design Group and the New Emergent Technologies and Design masters program at the AA in London. Includes Frei Otto, FOA, Arup and more. Part of the Architectural Design Series.
