Swarm micro-architectures in the metropolis, catalyse collective activities and events. They support the possibility of change to those parts of the urban that are considered by official planning, not really empty or un-built, but “at disposition”.
 
As swarms are informed by ambient networks, they are transformed to multitudes, “commons” constantly actualised. 

A population of monads is formed interacting at a global level with one another and at a local level with their environment.

SMA’s are discreet elements inserted and operate into the urban fabric at the same way as Ambient Intelligent (AmI) Components are  inserted and operate into space. 
 
Although there is normally no centralized control structure dictating how individual monads should behave, local interactions between such agents often lead to the emergence of global behavior.

>>>(Search for connected localities at a city level (or a territorial level) (i.e. distributed library network, e-democracy spaces, distributed NGO spaces, cultural info points) disposing  interconnected local and global behaviors. )

IIs it an urbanism slightly out of control or a novel form of utopia “inserted” into the existing urban fabric?

The multiple ways of defining global interactions responds to the parametric change of local monads, linked to a parametric urban cange.

Multiple monads will occupy the city, a “space without qualities”.

When they act as multitudes, their mutations and changes activate the space they occupy, causing different qualities to emerge, temporary fields to be formed, and multiple unpredictable relationships to build up.
