The KLI Labs provide an experimental space for alternative formats such as dissussion platforms, practice talks, feedback rounds for manuscript drafts, reading clubs, etc.
Event Details
Urban Evo-Devo transfers knowledge from evolutionary developmental biology to urban morphology. We pioneer a new science of urban form evolution, by drawing from current theories of biological and cultural evolution (Pagel, 2009, 2012) as well as systems ecology (Holling & Goldberg, 1971). We build on concepts from evolutionary developmental biology (evo-devo), which offers a rich source of explanations for the individual development and collective evolution of complex systems.
Urban Evo-Devo builds on the largest existing dataset of a taxonomy of urban form, which describes and classifies numerically 100+M buildings in central Europe, by applying on them modelling techniques established in evolutionary biology to infer descent from similarity.
