Abstract

This paper explores the application of cellular automata in the design of primary schools, focusing on the process of selecting an optimal base form and organizing rooms according to pedagogical standards. The literature review includes an analysis of cellular automata in architecture through case studies such as Digital Grotesque, Hy-Fi at the Museum Pavilion in New York, and Morpheus Hotel in Macau. The methodology entails a detailed description of using cellular automata to generate complex structures, while the project development focuses on designing functional units and aesthetic solutions for the facade. The discussion addresses the analysis of achieved results and challenges of this technology in architectural design, with the conclusion summarizing key findings and proposing directions for future research.
