This paper reports on recent experiments at UEL as part of the MSc:Architecture Computing & Design programme. Using a range of state change rules a series of processes have been explored that lead to transient ÒdesignsÓ whose global form is encoded in every cell of the development space. The application of CAs to Architectural Design offers a lower level of rule system acting on a more elemental deconstruction of architectural space than the topological methodology that many current spatial generators embrace.
