Teorijski koncept i primena celularnih automata – elementi evolucije u banjskim kontekstima

Abstract

This paper presents a theoretical concept of cellular automata, aimed at a possible application in architecture and urban planning. It highlights the totalistic cellular automata, the “Game of Life” and the “still life” states. It examines initial configurations in the generative process of a spatial form, which has a potential to become a part of architectural space. The paper discusses a geometric complexity of architectural space, and indicates a validity of the concept of cellular automata, applied in simulations of urban growth.
