Abstract
This paper is a survey of the spatial dynamics models found within systematic approaches to evolution which are based upon the paradigm of complexity. It includes a deterministic analysis of structural stability and spaces morphogenesis as proposed by the catastrophe theory and mathematical ecology, as well as an outline of those stochastic approaches which consider self-organizing spaces according to various principles (order through fluctuations or complexity through noise).
