Abstract principles, too, can be copied from nature: “Take a tree, for example: the structure of a branch ... the tree is fractal, and thus it is visually stimulating.” People, Brielmann says, ...

A tree, for instance, has a complicated architecture with branches that repeat, many branching patterns and consecutive orders — it thus has a fractal shape. In plants, one of the most iconic ...

The math that describes the branching pattern of trees in nature also holds for trees depicted in art—and may even underlie our ability to recognize artworks as depictions of trees. Trees are ...

In nature, fractal patterns aren’t just aesthetically pleasing, they’re also often related to function. For example, branching enables trees to transport fluid, harvest light and maintain ...

The same principle appears in tree branches as well. The precise calibration of branch diameter leads to a hallmark of fractal shapes called scale invariance. A scale invariance is a property that ...

Abstract principles, too, can be copied from nature: “Take a tree, for example: the structure of a branch resembles ... appreciate fractal designs also in architecture: “The more fractal ...
