• Exploring architectural possibilities with flocking algorithms  

  Popov, Nikolay (GA 2010 – XIII Generative Art Conference, 2010)

  Complexity theory offers a new way of understanding spatial patterns as self-organising morphologies. This provides a promising paradigm for exploring spatial organizations as the emergent outcome of dynamic relations ...
• Landscape systems modelling: A disturbance ecology approach  

  Margetts, Jacqueline; Barnett, Rod; Popov, Nikolay (Systematic Development: Local Solutions in a Global Environment, 13th Annual Australia and New Zealand Systems Conference, 2007)

  This paper reports on research which explores the modelling of landscape systems over time using multiagent simulation (MAS) software called NetLogo. Two case studies investigate a disturbance ecology approach to the ...
• Utilising agent based models for simulating landscape dynamics  

  Popov, Nikolay (Cumulus 38ºSouth: Hemispheric shifts across learning, teaching and research, 2009)

  Cities and landscapes are now understood as systems that are open, chaotic, unpredictable, irreversible, and in constant flux - i.e. complex adaptive systems. This is why designers need to develop new modes of practice ...
• Digitising the complex form  

  Egginton, Zane; Popov, Nikolay; Orams, Brett (On the border: Architectural science in theory & practice, 44th Annual Conference of the Australian and New Zealand Architectural Science Association, 2010)

  The demands of Landscape Architects and Architects use of organic and complex forms at various scales heavily fuel this project. In a typical project a designer is often faced with three challenges, how to create a digital ...
• Generative urban design with cellular automata and agent based modelling  

  Popov, Nikolay (On the border: Architectural science in theory & practice. 44th Annual Conference of the Australian and New Zealand Architectural Science Association, 2010)

  This paper reports on initial findings of a bigger research project that set out to explore the potential of generative algorithms in landscape architecture, urban design and architecture. The paper focuses on how urban ...
