== Abstract ==
The context and long term goal of the project is to develop design environments in which the
computer becomes an active and creative partner in the design process. To try to set-up a
system that would enhance the design process by suggesting possibilities, has been preferred
to an approach that emphasises optimisation and problem-solving.

The work develops around the general concept of morphogenesis, the process of development
of a system's form or structure. Besides the obvious example of embryological growth,
biological evolution, learning, and societal development can also be considered as
morphogenetic processes.

The aim is to set a foundation from where latter work can develop in the study of how form
unravels, and the implications and possibilities of the utilisation of such processes in design.
Some basic principles are established, regarding the idea of Ontogenesis, the study of the
development of organisms, and Epigenesis, the mode Ontogenesis operates.

Drawing on D’Arcy Thompson’s ideas and inspired on the models and approaches developed
in the recent field of Artificial Life, this work explores the possibilities of using a model based
in bone accretion to develop structural systems. The mechanisms by which bone is able to
adapt are relatively known and simple, and at the same time they address a sensible problem,
such as it is the case of the static performance of a structure. This may seem contradictory
with what was mentioned above regarding problem solving. The problem is anyway
approached not with the intention of finding optimal solutions, but challenging and creative
ones. It is not answers the computer should provide, but questions about the problematic of
the design. It is in this context of “problem-worrying” (as opposed to problem solving) that
the work has been carried.

Only through the mutual interrogation and conversation between designer and computer a
fruitful working process can unfold. Remarkably, some of the conclusion from the study of
Ontogenetic processes can be extrapolated to the design process as a whole, and concepts such
as Chreode or Homeorhesis can be understood as referring to the development of a design
work. These concepts are not very different from Gordon Pask’s ideas on the “sprouts”,
through which he explained not only design processes, but also conversations and interactions
in general [1].
