Beyond the Golden Rectangle

“Golden spheres,” and their family of space filling spherical packings, offer the most fertile ground: they generate new structures and new rhythms of change, as one configuration gives way to another.

“Coincidence and Randomness, The Architecture of Pattern”. A new essay has been added to SUPPLEMENTS.

“We live within a vast ‘ocean’ of randomness, navigating our way by the ‘islands’ of order we discover—and sometimes create—within it.”

From Sunflowers to God’s Divine Architecture of Life.

In response to questions from readers of the “Visual Thinking, Seeing Through Time” book series (ebook and print formats) I’ve added a SUPPLEMENTS page to this website. This is the first! “From Sunflowers to God’s Divine Architecture of Life.” This supplement relates to Book 1, Chapter 5, Ancient Egypt. It also covers Book 2, Chapter […]

Launch of ‘Visual Thinking’: Five Books on Art and Geometry

“Visual Thinking, Seeing Through Time” is a five-book odyssey through the human experience in Architecture, the Arts, and Geometry from the dawn of consciousness to the frontiers of artificial intelligence.

DYNAMIC SPHERES: GOLDEN RATIO ARCHITECTURE

“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 […]

THE PYTHAGOREANS: PYTHAGOREAN TRIANGLES & CIRCLES

“3D Thinking” Page 131: An animation of the Pythagorean Theorem shown dynamically in terms of circles. In the animation the diameter of the outer circle equals the hypotenuse of the right-angled triangle. The diameters of the two inner circles/spheres equal the lengths of the other two sides of the right-angled triangle. According to the Theorem […]

DYNAMIC SPHERE GEOMETRY

The concept originated studying the geometry of a particular window in old Cairo.   “3D Thinking” Page 264: The Dynamic Sphere Geometry is a type of 2D and 3D logic that, in the first place, generates “close-packing” tessellating arrangements of circles and spheres that infinitely fill space. Connecting circle and sphere centers or adding clipped […]

A Geometry of Early Islam – The Dynamic Circle Method

“3D Thinking” Pages 187, 274: Using close-packing circles to create surface designs, during the early years of Islam, requires a method to generate different close-packing circle arrangements. The dynamic sphere geometry provides such a method. Applying the geometry, starting with a 5-circle arrangement within the unit triangle of a square, generates many arrangements including the […]
