Alt.Fractals: Koch Snowflake Arrays

http://alt-fractals.blogspot.com/2012/02/koch-snowflake-arrays.html

Author blog for "Alt.Fractals: A visual guide to fractal geometry and design". Friday, 3 February 2012. Koch Snowflake Fractal Arrays (an alternate Koch Snowflake construction method). Another couple of non-standard ways of creating Koch Snowflake outlines. Note that every smaller detail is also a Koch Snowflake, and every little remaining space between the snowflakes also progressively gets nibbled away to form yet more Koch snowflakes as you apply more iterations. Posted by Alt.Fractals (Eric Baird).

Tree of Life", Charles Darwin (from "On the Origin of Species", 1859). This is one of the most influential diagrams ever made. It's Charles Darwin's published diagram of the branching relationships between species. From his book " On the The Origin of Species.

Alt.Fractals: March 2011

Author blog for "Alt.Fractals: A visual guide to fractal geometry and design". Saturday, 26 March 2011. A Tilable Space-filling Fractal Sponge. A fractal, tileable sponge ("Alt.Fractals", p.61). Okay, so this one looks like a "stretch" version of the conventional Menger Sponge. Using a 4×4×4 grid instead of 3×3×3 . and it is . but it's a bit more than that. It's not just an arbitrary variation on a math standard. It's a space-filling solid. Space-filling solids are kinda rare. A cube. Now, how it tiles.

The Sierpinki Triangle, rendered in Lego. The basic building-unit used here (to get proportions that look like an equilateral triangle) consists of four bricks: a 1×1×4 base strip, two 1×2×1 slanted roof pieces and a 1×1×2 top strip. The Sierpinski Triangle model, in the "Lego Digital Designer" ("LDD") program. Friday, 20 January 2012.

Author blog for "Alt.Fractals: A visual guide to fractal geometry and design". Sunday, 31 July 2011. Mirrorspace .' a fractal optical space using mirrored spheres, (c) Eric Baird 2011. This is a colour reworking of the black-and-white image on page 218 of the book. As "physical" fractals go, it’s one of the simplest to describe: it’s simply a stack of mirrored spheres. The mirrorballs also illustrate the deep connection between fractals and tilings. Posted by Alt.Fractals (Eric Baird). Mandelbrot Set Son...

Alt.Fractals: The Jerusalem Square

http://alt-fractals.blogspot.com/2011/11/jerusalem-square.html

Author blog for "Alt.Fractals: A visual guide to fractal geometry and design". Wednesday, 30 November 2011. The Jerusalem Square is the "shadow" of the Jerusalem Cube. The ratio between the sizes of a piece of the shape and its copies is an "irrational" number, 1 : ( 1 root 2 ). If you're wondering where the name comes from, here's the Jerusalem Cross. As used in the heraldic shield of the Kingdom of Jerusalem (1099 -1291). And alternative versions of the Jerusalem Cross, with different proportions and e...

Author blog for "Alt.Fractals: A visual guide to fractal geometry and design". Thursday, 24 February 2011. Here's a wireframe view of the basic "Delta" building block and its first iteration. Which hopefully gives a better idea of how the thing is constructed . Posted by Alt.Fractals (Eric Baird). The "Delta" is is one of my new favoritest fractals. But this is a leetle. Bit more subtle in that the component blocks (and the main shape) aren't quite. All in all, a cool shape. Thursday, 17 February 2011.
