Come on, you know it. I know it. Everyone knows that design is, like, the coolest thing EVER. So by day, I do that (cause I'm cool) in Japan (cause I am so cool I can design in TWO languages (Look, Ma! Both hands!)). And at night or when I'm larking around....well, you can see for yourself below:

Tom Beddard (aka subblue) has been responsible for some of the most fascinating work being done with fractals. His totally mesmerizing video of fractal shapes morphing into one another was one of the first things I posted on this blog.

In his series Fabergé Fractals he has created digitally generated objects with designs as intricate as the eggs they’re named after. 

Beddard on his work:

The 3D fractals are generated by iterative formulas whereby the output of one iteration forms the input for the next. The formulas effectively fold, scale, rotate or flip space. They are truly fractal in the fact that more and more detail can be revealed the closer to the surface you travel.

The fascinating aspect is where combinations of parameters can combine to create structural “resonances” of extraordinary detail and beauty—sometimes naturally organic and other times perfectly geometric. But then like a chaotic system it can completely disappear with the smallest perturbation.

Finca Bellavista, this amazing self-sustaining treehouse community in the rainforest canopy of Costa Rica, now 7 years down the line has grown to a surprising 600 acre complex connected by zip-lines and bridges. Situated 1.5 miles away from the nearest town, it is a perfect architectural project getaway that is constantly growing. It would be a dream to holiday there!

Figure 6. Author’s three-dimensional circumplex model describes the relations among emotion concepts, which are analogous to the colors on a color wheel. The cone’s vertical dimension representsintensity, and the circle represents degrees ofsimilarity among the emotions. The eight sectors are designed to indicate that there are eight primary emotion dimensions defined by the theory arranged as four pairs of opposites. In the exploded model the emotions in the blank spaces are the primary dyads—emotions that are mixtures of two of the primary emotions.
