Abstract

Homeostasis is the condition where a system reaches a dynamic balance: biological systems exhibit typical self-regulatory dynamics for morphogenetic processes that thrive on matter's self-organization capacity through which it exhibits hierarchy and organization and which is responsible for the optimization processes that guide the efficient use of energy. Optimization is aimed to achieve local efficiency of multiple goals processes with divergent demands, which are negotiated by a prevalence principle where non-prevalent demands do not cease to exist (as in exclusivity principle) but modify themselves serving the prevailing ones (their domain of expression is constrained by the paths traced in the prevailing demand's one). The goal of this paper is to show how such processes can be translated through a specific case study application in architecture: as in biological organisms, in this project matter and energy exchanges are regulated by integrated efficient systems rather than assemblies of monooptimized elements. �� 2013 Taylor & Francis Group.
