V.03 "FLOCKING"




"There is no better way to illustrate how complexity can erupt from many local interacting decisions than flocking. The individual elements might be plants and animals in an ecosystem, vehicles in traffic, or people in crowds. If one considers the city a dynamic in which systems of flow - such as traffic, circulation of goods, or crowd behavior - can be applied to any urban transformation, then flocking provides a vital model of complex coordination that describes these material shifts."

- Tooling / Aranda, Lasch
