Hello My name is Alexander Murrell and this is my online journal of my process through the 3D Visualisation class. My project is focused on an adaptation of the Sydney Opera House.

This video shows the leaps and bounds of human innovation, seen by the creation of a robot that flies by imitating the natural movement, size, and shape of real birds

Inspiration for the sail take off is most similar to that of swans

Geometric connections between patterns and nature, and the art that emerges
Matila Ghyka’s book “Geometry of Art and LIfe” analyses that there is harmony and proportion in human life, nature & finest art, rather than by chaos & chance. He made this connection through an exploration of simple mathematical equations that have been backed up by renowned scholars in human history.
Plato explains all things established their shapes from the “Great Ordering One”. These Systems that ordered art are:
o Pre-existing proportion
o Dynamic symmetry
o Musical eurhythmy in time
o Pythagorean way of meaning music note intervals
This produced
o Combination of ratios
o Systems of proportions
“Everything is arranged according to number” – Pythagorean creed
(Patterns, themes of symmetry, spirals) discovered in living forms and living growth are found used in Greek and gothic architecture. These were:
- “the divine proportion” luca Paciali
- “one of the two jewels of geometry” - kelper
- “the golden section” – commonly known
The Proportion of space and time. Ratio the comparsion of 2 things. “Proportion is the equality of two ratios” a/b = c/d
The simplest example is The Golden Section. This is based upon the fibonacci series (each term is equal to the sum of two preceding ones). (1.618...) It is able to continuously keep ratio as shape increases/decreases
The Golden Section.
The Geometry of Life:
- “science of space” – the study of life geometry
- “secret perspective” – what luca Paciola in renaissance researched
o Cubist art emerged
- Geometrical patterns with “constellation”
- “love of nature” – applying to inorganic systems was to use principles to produce a state of equilibrium (balanced energy)
o Eg snowflake triangle patterns
- Golden section relates to “gnomic growth” – growing
o Eg flowers
o Eg seashells
Geometry is linked to the human proportions too. The more natural geometry someone’s face is, the better aestically pleasing a person appears. Hence why symmetrical faces are highly valued.
Transmission of geometrical symbols and plans. Application of geometry in art is shown in human history:
o Medieval art
o Greek Architecture. eg temples
o Renaissance, eg in baroque artworks
o Modernism – le Corbusier
This Symphonic composition or “dynamic symmetry” of Vitruvian, from the end of 17 C were gradually forgotten. it is rare and interesting to find symmetry in modern artworks.
The mathematical connections to the beautiful and seeminly chaotic nature is really interesting. Nature’ geometrical connection is what makes it aestheically pleasing to the eye.

Spaces of monument scale
What spaces are so big you could only take a photo through panorama? The spaces that make you feel small, where the structure is so big, the feeling of importance is inescapeable

Spaces of miniscule scale
what is it like being the size of a pea?
Example: Antz movie, the ants’ perspective
Example: toys, where people can imagine a world through small characters. These warhammer pieces allow people to have fun playing war in a magical world
Example: the life of mice that live in the walls of your home
