Abstract
Most of the configurations of natural phenomena such as crystal of snow, outline of clouds, structure of trees have common patterns between the whole structure and the substructures. This theory built on the system of self-similarity is developed by Benoit Mandelbrot and is called to be fractal theory. This theory can explain the configurations of natural phenomena because of its origin. In the field of Computer Graphics, this theory is often be used for simulating the natural phenomena. The objects of the present study are the following ; (1) The application of the fractal theory to vertical stripe patterns, available to the design of the interior walls and the exterior ones. (2) The ascertainment of how the fractal stripe patterns make people feel natural. (3) The visual comparison of the fractal stripe patterns with stripes of which spectra are reciprocal of frequency, with an equi-spaced stripe and with random stripe patterns.
