Nature geometry

Geometric forms are those which correspond to named regular shapes, such as squares, rectangles and circles. I like the fact that not all naturally occurring objects are organic and it is the precision and regularity of forms within the natural world which I find particularly inspiring. Below are just a few of many examples.

Discover the captivating world of fractal geometry in our in-depth blog post, "Exploring the Beauty of Fractal Geometry: From Nature to Art." Uncover the science behind the intricate patterns of fractals, marvel at their hidden symmetry in nature, and dive into the mesmerizing Mandelbrot Set.

I was curious, so I analyzed the geometry of the peacock's tail-feather display. Turns out the shape is a symmetrical phyllotaxis, which is somewhat surprising. Most phyllotaxis patterns in nature (like on pinecones, pineapples and sunflowers) have spirals of adjacent Fibonacci numbers (usually 5, 8, 13 or 21), but the peacock's feathers have the same count of spirals in both directions!

A fractal is defined as a "rough or fragmented geometric shape that can be split into parts, each of which is (at least approximately) a reduced-size copy of the whole," according to their "discoverer" Benoit Mendelbrot (Nov. 20, 1924 – Oct. 14,...

The science of Sacred Geometry is growing more popular every day but few people have a real grasp on what is really meant by either “Sacred” or “Geometry.” Sacred Geometry is the study of the patterns, shapes, and ratios that we often find in the natural world. Whether it’s the golden ratio (phi, ø) in [...]

Certain patterns, such as the fractal, are repeated over and over in nature -- with some spectacular contrasts on wildly different scales.
