The stigmergic city: Reinterpreting eco-utopia model with stigmergic behaviour
The impact of human society on ecology has reached a great extent, resulting in a series of natural backlashes. This gradually shows us the importance of re-examining the previous ecological utopian concept, such as Paolo Soleri‘s Arcology. Utopia represents the ultimate pursuit of human for a better social state, but as well as the ultimate embodiment of the limitations of human beings as self-centred design thinking. It is bound to be difficult to adapt to the complex and dynamic of the ecology if we try to realise utopia as the ultimate order or result operating in a perfect state, as previous failed praxis has done. In fact, the emergence of utopia has a greater value in giving us the motivation for optimisation and progress of our human patterns in each era. Meanwhile, there are patterns of intelligence in nature that are well adapted to this complex and dynamic ecology by an optimisable system, which we call stigmergic intelligence. From the self-organisation of the swarm and flocks to the formation of the social structure of the ant colonies, from the growth of plants to the epidermal tissue of organisms. Natural species place themselves into ecology in a rather miraculous way. Besides, the development of new digital tools allows us to study the phenomenology and reprogram these intelligences. This paper tries to go further and learn from stigmergic intelligent model to form a new system, which can optimise urban ecological issues from a new perspective. Presenting an innovative computer-aided approach based on stigmergic intelligence that aims to handle both miniaturization (the revealing of the human pattern which has the minimal disruption to ecology) and complexity (the optimisation and customisation of human activity content). Study how it works as a layer stack into the urban ecology to reinterpret the utopian model in the digital era.
