A fractal shape is geometry with scale – a middle ground or internal axis of scale symmetry. So it is no surprise that fractals should turn out to model an organic world which is based on a logic of growth and hierarchical scale. Ordinary geometry – like ordinary logic or ordinary science – does not take account of scale. Differences in size are not seen as something fundamental. We could say the same for a propeller, a whorl of turbulence in a stream, or many other geometrical forms.
Fractals are also Platonic in being represented as static, ready-made, mathematical objects. But let’s start first by considering some classic fractals shapes such as the Koch curve, Cantor set, Sierpinski gasket and Menger sponge. So with the Koch curve, we begin with a flat line segment – the initiating state. Note several things here. Originally the 1D line just sat there in the 2D void. In theory a Koch curve can keep approaching this limit forever. Fractal Technology, Art & History. Fractal Furniture is NOW HERE! Fractal Table NEW Fractal Cabinet Design Fractal Antennas can pack more access to more frequencies in a smaller space. Look inside your cellphone or GPS and there is probably a fractal antenna! Military design incorporates the fractal antenna into the helmet itself! Fractal robot is a new kind of robot made from motorized cubic bricks that move under computer control. The bricks are like Lego bricks in that they snap together to make a new shape. The smaller the bricks, the finer the control we have over this 'digital matter'.
Using Artificial Fractal Tree Roots in Construction Design (link) There are a lot of new composite materials out there that would probably be well suited towards creating modular, lightweight, bridge construction systems like the one discussed here.
