Branching Systems
Notice how the bronchi in our lungs stretch out
just like tree branches? We see the same structure
in broccoli, rivers, roads converging at a city
center, sports competition charts, and lightning
to name a few.
Spirals
Spirals are ubiquitous in nature – we see them in
sunflowers, shells, galaxies, a ram’s horn, crashing
waves, and the ear’s cochlea. The pattern of spirals
also extends to emotions, rates of growth and
decay, and chaotic systems.
Circles and Spheres
Circles and spheres hold great significance in
mythology and philosophy due to their flawless
and perfect symmetric forms. Circles and spheres
form stars, planets, dinner plates, balls, and
wheels.
Concentric Circles
The first Centerpattern’s we recognized as
children were concentric circles spreading from
rocks thrown into ponds and when counting
rings of a tree’s cross-section. We can also see
concentric circles in the growth pattern of teeth,
the slices of an onion, Mandalas, auditorium
seating arrangements, and the rings of Saturn.
