Infinite Measure Learning To Design In Geometric Harmony With Art Architecture And Nature 2021 (2024)
| Principle | Application | |-----------|-------------| | | Root-2, root-3, root-5 rectangles for page layouts, floor plans, facade design. | | The Golden Ratio (φ) | Spiral grids for composition; 1:1.618 relationships in massing, window proportions. | | The Modular (Le Corbusier) | Human-scale based on 6 ft (1.83 m) with Fibonacci subdivisions. | | Pythagorean Harmonics | 2:1, 3:2, 4:3 intervals applied to spatial rhythms (e.g., column bays). | | Biomorphic Geometry | Voronoi patterns, phyllotaxis spirals, branching networks (from nature). |
: Focuses on the "grammar" of geometric construction, starting from the simplicity of a circle and progressing to complex overlays. Symbols & Composing Space Plans | Principle | Application | |-----------|-------------| | |
Students are no longer taught to "abstract" nature, but to extract its operating system . This involves field exercises where one measures the angle of branching in oak trees, the phyllotaxis of sunflowers, and the vortices of flowing water. The lesson: Nature never uses straight lines arbitrarily; every curve is a force diagram. | | Pythagorean Harmonics | 2:1, 3:2, 4:3
