Projeto e evolução: geração, variação e reprodução

Abstract

The traditional procedures of architectural design approach biological evolutionary mechanisms by reproducing the successive strategies of variability and selection mechanisms. Thus, the most adapted proposals/organisms follow as exponents of a long evolutionary chain, where solutions compete with each other. This work seeks to relate the two issues, from the mechanisms of BVSR- Blind Variation, Selective Retention (CAMPBELL, 1960) and the Adjacent Possible (KAUFFMAN, 2008), as organizers of the processes of generation, variation and reproduction of architectural solutions . These processes will lead to the base of the “organic” evolution of the design, but it will, evidently, be affected by the associative, analytical and interrelational capacity of the architects.
