“the architect is no longer an organizer of matter and space but a designer of systems –
with multi-layered components and complex relationships”
CPL BIAS | The CyPhyLab – laboratory for cyber-physical systems in architecture and urban design is an interdisciplinary research entity engaging with architecture as a changing profession that opens formerly unknown fields of research. It describes the foundations of the Chair of Bio-Inspired Architecture and Sensoric at the Institute of Architecture, Technische Universität Berlin. Our agenda is ‘Humanification of Technology’. We operate along cybernetic principles and combine them with established architectural practice. This results in a convergence of space, biology, material and cyber-physical systems. We aim at an architecture where biology and the digital is connected with the physical materials and the smart objects in the networked world of the internet of things. The CyPhyLab was founded by Prof. Liss C. Werner in 2018 and became the chair of Bio-Inspired Architecture and Sensoric in 2020 and consists of an interdisciplinary and international team. The CyPhyLab is mainly funded through H2020 third party funds.
A concrete application for architecture is to create buildings that act and interact with people and the environment. We want our buildings to become familiar with our human behaviour and to behave accordingly. Within our discipline of architecture we work in the field of biological computing, material behaviour and sensor technology. Our plan is to integrate networked intelligence into our built environment. We use tools like scripting and programming, as well as methods from artificial intelligence (e.g., pattern recognition), combined with material intelligence for architecture. Topics such as Human-Machine-Networks (HMN) and Human Computer Interaction (HCI) drive our work. For architecture, this is still basic research. Especially, since we have the ambition to design buildings architecturally very well. The process from (parametric) design to computer controlled production, construction and evaluation is part of this task. Our prototypes and artefacts are guided by the “Closed Loop Digital Design Process” we developed in 2018.
We aim at a post-digital Sixth Ecology, where the virtual digital, material analog and the evolutionary biological elements converge into, for example, learning systems. The digital cannot be separated from our material world anymore. It is integrated in our physical human bodies as it is integrated in our buildings, cities and urban infrastructures. What began in the 1940s with control engineering at selected universities (including the TU Berlin) is now being implemented across the board. We create a truly cybernetic reality controlled by neural networks, whose cognitive nature is hardly distinguishable from a biological one. We follow cybernetic principles and method to enable emergent systems and space. We are trying to understand what it means to be digital and how we can create a digital physicality. We call the process of getting there cybernetification.

Classes taught in the CyPhyLab engage with Material Behaviour and Material Intelligence. Through experimental research, we start understanding the possibilities for its application on a variety of levels and scale. The critical discussion about our novel human/machine relation in an urban IoT (Internet of Things) environment is central to the work.
Urban and architectural design strategies are experiencing a paradigm shift. Questions on how to transform our current cities and how to design our future cities are driven by economics, globalization, politics, demographics and ecology. We are in search of new architectural typologies and urban organization to integrate biodiversity and artificial natures. Now, we have digital tools at hand, can quantify infinite phenomena and trade data like oil. The ecological question, and the question of the human condition in the midst of bitcoin farms and styrofoam insulation systems, however, has not been answered as yet. During the studio, we will ask the question of how we can understand our environment and our world that is overwhelmed with analog and digital complexity, equipped with fluid terrains in a new AI cyberspace in order to create ecological urban habitat. Our sites are linear empty stretches along the S-Bahn, crawling and extending into contradicting parts of the city. You will be designing a new urban quarter fostering living 4.0, working 4.0, new mobility and gardening concepts, laboratories for ancient herbal medicine and ayurvedic living, chickens and a rooftop bar with cycling track – or just an ice cream parlor next to a circus. Your design proposals will be driven by bio-diversity, imagination and radical rethinking of methodologies that utilize cybernetic thinking and computational making. The studio, therefore, will be supported by the PIV, orchestrated by the Chair of Architectural Theory.
Morphing Ecologies is computational driven, skills such as Grasshopper and Python are welcome.

Artificial Natures I
Digital computational architecture has been emerging over the last decades. By using digital tools architects and designers are enabled to generate thousands of design options with more or less complex geometries, create city patterns or new typologies with the help of deep neural networks; possibly to be evaluated against set criteria in order to choose ‘the best one’. Being critical towards a ‘random’ use of digital tools because we can, this Artificial Natures offers an overview over computational architecture, of which the very tools are just one part of many. The goal of Artificial Natures is to inform students about a variety of ingredients for understanding and possibly designing with the assistance of computation.
This course is structured in five modules:
computational thinking | digital computational tools | analysis of urban data | machine learning | computational biology
Artificial Natures is a dual online class we developed and will teach together with ESU Lab, Mansoura University Egypt. The course is attached to the lecture series hello biology.

Urban and architectural design strategies are experiencing a paradigm shift. In 1974 Constantinos A. Doxiadis stated “At present we are in the middle of the greatest ecological crisis. This is the crisis which started two centuries ago when humanity entered the era of applied science and industry.“ In 1997, during the first digital turn in architecture, Stan Allen contributed to an understanding of architecture as systemic field rather than an agglomeration of discrete objects, leading to an investigation of design methods based on biological principles paired with cybernetic concepts. In the studio we will develop and design cities of morphing ecologies. Our cities will be systemic in nature – embracing humans and no-humans alike, computationally generated urban landscapes of formally alien beauty. Our decisions will be driven by the UN sustainability goals set by the 2030 agenda for Sustainable Development. Tiny intro to bio-inspiration. NOTE: You will start with direct observation, monitoring and analysis of physical natural and biological organisms. their growth and morphological changes (PIV). The studio is computational driven, skills such as Grasshopper and Python are welcome.

Learning Outcomes: At the end of the semester you will know a bit better how biology works, geometries in nature are generated based on specific rules and logics and how you can translate this into computational making of architecture and urban design. Technically you will also have learned of how to digitally create, possibly fabricate your morphological typologies. As an add on, you will have gained an insight into the terminology and theory of computational (digital, parametric) architecture.
Design Outcome: Modular or fibrous architectural typologies leading to morphogenetic landscapes for our urban environment. Functions are up to your ideas.

The PIV ‘Morphing Ecologies Experiments I’ is interrelated with the studio ‘Morphing Ecologies’. You will grow, observe, document and analyze biological and natural and/or biological organisms. Physarum Polycephalum, Algea and Mycelium are in our focus. You will depict the differences and communalities in their individual biological computation; their growing behavior, structural characteristics, function and form, surface topography, topology and appearance. Through experiments using natural and biological organisms, we tackle the beginnings of ‘computational architecture and ecology’ as an interwoven construct. You will reference and learn about the relevance of the work of Constantinos A. Doxiadis, Christopher Alexander, Stan Allen, and alike. Paired with your insights in biological (functional and formal) principles (practice) you will gain a first understanding of complex systems and their behavior (method), essential for the studio work. Tiny intro to bio-inspiration.

Bio-inspired modular morphologies are understood as 2- to 3-dimensional aggregated geometries based on biological principles. Morphogenesis, driven through a multitude of parameters such as material behavior and humidity, is the bio-computer generating the form of a static or kinetic structure. We will use this design strategy to examine material; leading to the design of topographies, modular landscapes and objects. Methods: observation, analysis, analog folding, digital 3D-printing, biological growing. Ad-on: computational theory in architecture. Tiny intro to bio-inspiration.
Learning Outcomes: At the end of the semester you will know a bit better how biology works, geometries in nature are generated based on specific rules and logics and how you can translate this into computational making of architecture.
