Embracing the Creativity of Stigmergy in Social Insects
In 1959, French biologist Pierre‐Paul Grassé coined the term ‘stigmergy’ to explain the mechanism of spontaneous coordination between agents or actions that leave traces on the environment. Here, Guy Theraulaz, a leading researcher in the field of swarm intelligence and a senior fellow at the of the Centre de Recherches sur la Cognition Animale, part of the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) at Université Paul Sabatier in Toulouse, explains how architects can learn from this type of social interaction among insects.
