No ant holds a blueprint, yet the colony still builds an ordered nest with a single purpose — species survival. This order, created by many small local actions, is called self-organisation.
Inspired by this, I invited Prof. Kenji Matsuura (Laboratory of Insect Ecology, Kyoto University), I apply this logic to architectural design and develop a spatial prototype that grows from interacting agents instead of a top-down plan.
Form follows action: architecture arises from the choreography of design moves, not from a pre-drawn outline.
