What is a fractal design A fractal is a never-ending pattern. Fractals are infinitely complex patterns that are self-similar across different scales. They are created by repeating a simple process over and over in an ongoing feedback loop. Driven by recursion, fractals are images of dynamic systems – the pictures of Chaos
Fractal Geometry in Hindu Architecture Fractal geometry in Hindu Temples is prominent in the design of the shikhara , which is a significantly large characteristic tower, symbolic of a mountain peak. The fractal arrangements owe their existence to the desire of the people to have the tower resemble the contour of a mountain with its varied heights
The fractal nature of the Hindu temple is also closely related to Hindu philosophy about the universe. In Hindu philosophy, the universe is seen as a whole, where each part of the whole is whole itself. This is also reflected in the plans, where the plain sides are replaced by interior and exterior projections
Frank Lloyd Wright Frank Lloyd Wright’s structure, Palmer House, shows fractal nature in its floor plan. However, it can be said that the fractal character is more influential when viewed in three-dimensional form rather than in the plan, where it is barely visible. Another Wright building, the Marin Civic Centre in San Francisco, also shows the fractal character in its front elevation. Elevation of Marin Civic
