OK, think I have it now. "Flocking continues to be an evocative example of emergence, where complex global behavior can arise from the interaction of simple local rules."
So generative design is 'more than just the sum of its parts' to put it crudely.. Does anyone have this book: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Control-Design-Parametric-Algorithmic-Architecture/dp/8496540790/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1236672639&sr=8-1 Just looking to expand my understanding of the fields of parametric- generative & algorithmic design tools. Any good sources of information would be of great help.
