Like a living entity..
Explanation:
Hope I've understood the context correctly - it seems that the proyecto is being seen as almost living (asking permission of the environment). I don't think this is clear from either 'personalized' or 'individualised', which, additionally, are slightly awkward ways of starting a sentence in English.

If you don't go for this suggestion, i would still suggest that you play with the sentence a bit.

Best of luck!

Frost settled in the creek bottom last night, as the cool air descended the hill sides, losing even more of its heat to the open sky and deep space, and a mist formed that seemed like a living entity, smelling like wood smoke.

Essential characteristics of a "living" entity are:
* Interaction with the environment using a rich variety of sensors and actuators
* A life-cycle in terms of conception, birth, growth, adolescence, and death
* Maturation in terms of information gathering, knowledge structuring, communication, and an increasing set of behaviors
