Fractal facades
Journal Title: Architectus - Year 2015, Vol 19, Issue 1
Abstract
Among many issues regarding connections between fractal geometry and architecture a signifi cant role is played by research on facades with fractal features. In their search for adequate examples scientists draw from the facades of historical structures, trying to find self-similar elements, and from studying the facades of contemporary buildings, measuring their fractal dimension. Most examples seem to demonstrate their fractal features randomly and unintentionally. The paper presents a proposal of the use of fractal surface with strictly mathematical algorithms generated as an element developing the form of the facade considered to be a relief.
