DYNAMIC SPHERES: GOLDEN RATIO ARCHITECTURE

By DYNAMIC SPHERE GEOMETRY, GOLDEN RATIO

PDFPRINT“3D Thinking” Page 288: A “Golden Ratio” structure extracted from a 3D lattice generated by the sphere cluster, HP1.3. See Page 271, “3D THINKING ANIMATIONS.” The lattice is created by connecting the centers of the “Golden Ratio” spheres. The illustration shows how the lattice is generated and then how the  structure is extracted from the space-filling […]
