The project aims to experiment with current motifs of architecture and challenges the current notion of high density living. The goal was to tackle issues related to overpopulation - issues seen in rapidly urbanizing cities - and to embrace the sporadic identity of rapid urbanization through a more systemized and learnt manner. The project utilizes a combination of multi agent-based scripts - namely Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and Culebra scripts - to engage the designer with high density forms.

The use of the script was to force a hand onto high density living in a more controlled environment based on a set list of parameters. The outcomes were heavily influenced by current site conditions and each iteration trained the agents to react accordingly to a specific site. The most successful outcomes of which were then analysed and extracted to determine the possibilities in application towards architectural design. It was a thorough process of form finding and pattern recognition that aided in the decision for the final iteration of design. The outcome remains conceptual and rather aims to promote a rethinking of architecture to combat future design obstacles related to expansive growth.
