Instead there exist different geometric processes, and while traditionally builders have employed nesting processes in their work, for perhaps no other reason than it came naturally to them, modern builders have restricted themselves to linear geometric processes due to drawing their inspiration from Cartesian science and engineering.</p></div></div></div> Mon, 22 Jun 2009 03:54:09 +0000 Mathieu Helie 135 at http://localhost http://localhost/2008/07/23/complex-geometry-and-structured-chaos-part-ii <div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden prose"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" property="content:encoded"><p>Complexity, to employ the definition proposed by Jane Jacobs in the final chapter of Death and Life of Great American Cities, is a juxtaposition of problems. This implies that a complex solution is a juxtaposition of solutions: fractal geometry.</p> <p>How does the way we build arrive at complex solutions to complex problems without driving the builders to madness? How can we solve problems which exist at every scale in space, but also exist at every scale in time? Let's take a look at St. Paul's Cathedral in the City of London.</p></div></div></div> Thu, 24 Jul 2008 00:29:52 +0000 Mathieu Helie 102 at http://localhost
