Physical Description and Determinants of Evolution of Structures. An Attempt to Analyse Their Implications for Optimising Architectural and Urban Space Planning

Physical conditions for spontaneous growth and development of complex structures are discussed: using the concept of {free energy (thermodynamic negentropy)} -> {structural information (Shanonnian) negentropy} transformation. The phenomena of structure ageing and decay are analysed. Degree of com...
