A Study on the Characteristics of Non-Linear Geometrical Form

抄録

Even until recently, the only tool for designers to express their architectural forms has been Euclid geometry. However, new attempts have been made by designers to interpret the non-linear geometrical features of the modern world and environment, and they realized that Euclid geometry is limited in representing full extent of their interpretation, and the need of a chaos, now influences arts, music, economics, and other areas, let alone the science and mathematics. And this theory, as an expressed form of applied by some contemporary architects, actually generate the architectural forms and several cases are constructed quite successfully. Non-liner geometrical features is composed of self-similarity overlapping, repetition and gradation, and so on and diversely applied to current architectural practices
