Project Overview
From the perspective of architects, the project
proposes architecture as an interactive system of
functional reversibility, community engagement, and
the recycling and reuse of construction materials
to connect people and places. Therefore, when
the main purpose of architecture is to serve the
community rather than capital accumulation, a
bottom-up, citizen-led urban regeneration platform
is proposed. The decentralised platform promote
citizens, instead of architects, to play a major role in
city scale redevelopment projects, forming regional
redevelopment plans through a bottom-up approach,

According to the industry based on an extractive economy, the logistic and trading with material are not transparency, while industrialized processes have made
construction easily achieved but deconstruction complicated. Therefore, we seek to create a decentralised open-source platform within a city context which aims
for transparency in material trading and reversibility in construction practices and architectural functions.
In this platform we have made the logistics chain of materials transparent, used upcycle materials for construction and designed a high tolerance construction
system. The game approach were applied to the platform to enable users to collaboratively design and construct each stage of their community. The platform
therefore in an attempt to create a community where materials are decentralised and autonomous and where building functions are reversible.

The large functional pieces generated in Game one are used as components
for the second game, and continue to be arranged by the players in the bound-
aries of the muti-layer, unlike in Game one, where the whole space is arranged
in multiple layers and the height can be selected. Players play three rounds
of the game, with the number of components that can be selected being de-
fined by the number of players in the team, for example, rc one has seventeen
players controlling ten studio pieces and rc ten has seven players controlling
five studio pieces. Each round the players are ranked in turn, changing directly
from the previous user, but with a restriction on the number of components the
latter can change for the former user each round. Each time a round is com-
pleted, God fine-tunes the game based on the heatmap’s evaluation criteria
to achieve a more reasonable amount of space. At the same time, we record-
ed the process and stability points of each user modification in an attempt to
discover and summarise the pattern of changes in popular points. The game
allows the building to be designed and negotiated spontaneously by the users
and optimised by the designer. The final overall spatial form is generated.

From the perspective of architects, the project
proposes architecture as an interactive system
of functional reversibility, community engage-
ment, and the recycling and reuse of construc-
tion materials to connect people and places.

The left side shows the material usage and the right side shows the result of the build.
The LOSS Value is calculated as the weighted sum of material waste and space unoccupied.
the LOSS decreases during the optimisation process, indicating that material usage rises
and space occupancy rises. ( Based on agent’s simulated annealing)
