Summary:

How do concentrations and settlements 'move'? How do they mutate and/or adapt to this continuous change? What is the struggle, the driving force, behind this? Maybe a process-oriented, 'Darwinist' or evolutionary attitude can be followed towards change and creation, one that models these 'battles', these acts of ascending survival mechanisms. SpaceFighter (the game) wants to model these interactive urban developments. It wants to reflect and compare (in one second or one minute) imaginable interactive urban processes. SpaceFighter has been constructed by Winy Maas in collaboration with the Delft School of Design and the Berlage Institute in Rotterdam.
