The built environment functions as a facilitator of a healthy relationship between humans and the natural environment. The ability of cellular automata (CA) to model naturally occurring phenomena that express in spatio-temporal patterns offers opportunities to both simulate and generate complex spatial arrangements based on local morphological rules. This local relationship-driven property resonates with the local generative dynamics found in natural systems. To address the intricacies associated with cellular automata rule definitions within the context of ecological urban form, we construct a “multi-layered” CA as a theoretical model for exploring ecological performance-oriented architectural form design. The resulting model accommodates both conventional top-down design strategies and the locally driven relational networks of ecological considerations. An analysis of two case studies not only examines the possibilities of both simulating and generating ecologically oriented, integrated architectural and urban form using CA-based strategies at different stages of the design process, and offers designers a new way to model and evaluate ecologically sensitive constructed environments.
