This is the start to a whole new intervention to promote ideas inclined towards the evolution of a creature and designing its immediate surrounding to incorporate its personality.
To start with an example, we know spores are the smallest unit of any organism. Different species of organism have different nature of existence. The nature of its existence defines evolution of that organism. If we put ourself into designing the very basic of these spores projecting the outcome of these spores when interconnected with many of the same kind, we round up identifying various secrets of adaptation in living organisms.
This is actually an evolved psychology of creating characters, for example in films, comics, even also when it comes to assigning duties to the legislature, the council is defined a character. So the members of any state assembly act as spores for the large body called legislative assembly. Their are various examples of this kind.

The great writer and film director Frank Miller, best known for his dark film-noir style (film noir is a cinematic term used for describing stylish Hollywood crime scenes) comic book stories and graphic novels, has been in this state of creating characters. He has created many comic super-heroes for Marvel and in this process, he tried to understand the flexibility in creation of super powers in different contexts. This makes us understand about a person's ability to multiply a character or idea to his surroundings. This is unlike what Michel Foucault defines multiple character syndrome.

The original argument of designing a spore zooms out to its end product. It is therefore ideal to fist visualize the stature of the end product before even starting the design. Architecture has always been inspired by its allied art forms. The idea of design-spore in the context of architecture could be termed as 'Adaptive Architecture' because of the contribution of the smallest possible element in detailing out the formation and ability of that space. Architecture has the ability to project life within it. To put it in simple words, an organism, be it a man or an animal or any other life form, its outer environment is defined by the inner self of that individual. And that inner self has a character, mood, color, smell, texture, form and state which is constructed with millions of cells. These cells are the ones to be designed.
When the cells come together it forms a creature. This creature is not to be kept in isolation, but be put into a pool of similar weak and strong creatures. The survivors of the fight of existence brings up a stronger community of this creature which could be termed as its 'tribe'. This tribe then give rise to a civilization. When we thus come out of this civilization, the character of the original cell or spore will either be retained or be reconstructed by the tribes.
This idea will be looked upon again when their will be more contributions from the readers.
