Abstract
Morphogenetic prototyping supports the mapping of transdisciplinary models of biological system development to real world challenges in design and engineering disciplines. The ontogenetical focus of this research moves beyond the traditional mechanistic interest of biomimetics in design and engineering. The morphogenetic prototyping lab at UniSA is investigating how morphogenetic prototypes could support a designer's understanding of complex design problems in wicked problem contexts. At the same time we are interested in their communicative and experimental value in science. We therefore need to identify an appropriate transdisciplinary approach to model the development of biological systems. Three workflows to construct 5D morphogenetic prototypes using digital modelling tools from design and engineering are described here.
