fractals.morphogenesis.organic mathematics


Several issues of AD proved very helpful in researching application of fractals in architectural systems





















































key ideas to translate into design - recurring shapes and patterns, constant change-dynamic spaces- morphology, voronoi cells as fractals, detail at all scales of magnification-zoom into more and more information, bifurcating veins- as ornament that ties the interior spaces together or as the circulation pattern-bifurcating paths- enter a space> 2 doors> enter 1 door> 2 more doors etc.

what and where--the first step towards decision making





a4 handout- for the initial crit review

my space must try to exude-

zoom-outs- mandelbrot set's graphic representation. There is detail at all scales of magnification and this goes on till infinity will a breathtaking range of patterns and forms which show self-similarity .These graphs also show transformation and dynamism as a small change in the mandelbrot equation results in constantly changing forms. 



INFINITE COMPLEXITY
Mandelbrot sets and the fascinating properties of fractals to bring complexity and infinity throughout the design showing the same level of detail as one sees on the building as a whole.
 A fractal is basically the iterations of an equation forever, the unique thing about them is that they are equally complex at any magnification.
 If you took a fractal and magnified it by 500x, you would see the same level of detail as you did on the entire thing. Fractals are among the most beautiful of all mathematical forms. 

TRANSFORMATION
Just as math changes or breaks down a problem, my space will use transforming, periodically changing elements to include the many activities and functions in the single open space of the warehouse.

DYNAMISM
Mathematical series translated as complex patterns will make it an exciting space for math enthusiasts who will discover a hidden problem in the design every time they visit providing a transforming perception of the subject.

SCHIZOPHRENIA
Schizophrenic space, because its 2 different people in the same space with a common interest- Creative Mathematics or Mathematical Art.


what happens in this centre for creative maths?

algorithmic architecture




these are some existing examples of algorithmic architecture- a translation of parametric patterns and algorithms into 3d spaces. Is this visual mathematics to some degree?

Applications of Math in Creative Fields:

Creating complex patterns in architectural technologies-as seen in new architectural trends of morphogenesis and parametric patterns in architecture.

New forms of calculated choreography and poetry further expand mathematics beyond the area of its more commonly known applications.

Using fractals-infinite series of equations to produce complex detailed art and sculpture.


The brief is to design The Centre for Creative mathematics on 54 Holywell Lane, Shoreditch. The Centre will be a dream for the genius mathematicians, to study, research and explore facilitate these applications.

The centre will have a private space for research and private study, lectures and conferences and a public space where this research is realized- as art exhibitions, workshops exploring these subjects at various artistic levels and performances employing mathematical themes and installations.

The Centre will be a platform for mathematicians and emerging artists to share cross over and combine their respective knowledge and creations to produce new kind of arts.
