PDF-(READ)-African Fractals: Modern Computing and Indigenous Design

Fractals are characterized by the repetition of similar patterns at everdiminishing scales Fractal geometry has emerged as one of the most exciting frontiers on the border between mathematics and information technology and can be seen in many of the swirling patterns produced by computer graphics It has become a new tool for modeling in biology geology and other natural sciences Anthropologists have observed that the patterns produced in different cultures can be characterized by specific design themes In Europe and America we often see cities laid out in a grid pattern of straight streets and rightangle corners In contrast traditional African settlements tend to use fractal structurescircles of circles of circular dwellings rectangular walls enclosing eversmaller rectangles and streets in which broad avenues branch down to tiny footpaths with striking geometric repetition These indigenous fractals are not limited to architecture their recursive patterns echo throughout many disparate African designs and knowledge systems Drawing on interviews with African designers artists and scientists Ron Eglash investigates fractals in African architecture traditional hairstyling textiles sculpture painting carving metalwork religion games practical craft quantitative techniques and symbolic systems He also examines the political and social implications of the existence of African fractal geometry His book makes a unique contribution to the study of mathematics African culture anthropology and computer simulations.
