The project aims to investigate the techniques and processes that are embedded in the complex design procedure - associative modelling and algorithmic growth. The algorithm called Lindenmayer system in the environment of the parametric software is the main principle of growth of geometry and its population in space. It was introduced in 1968 by Lindenmayer as a theoretical framework for studying the development of simple multicellular organisms, and subsequently applied to investigate higher plants and plants organs. The initial shape in algorithm is replaced by the geometry according to the rule combining the linear dependence in five variables derived from the physical experiments. The examined multi-blob consists of three generations of the component in space. The population in digital space features the variety of intersections that deserve the innovative approach for the convenient fabrication solution and further replication. The described proliferation logic is constrained by production methods but on the other hand provides the important feedback which helps to develop the associative parametric model based on the dependences of the base geometric primitives (points, curves, surfaces).
