Geometry – Inspired and instigated by nature

Geometry is integral to Nature. Nature, in its myriad forms, has helped us understand and evolve geometric patterns and constructs.

We, human beings, have adopted these constructs in a variety of ways, in –

a. Designing monuments and buildings,

b. Embellishing the mega-structures as well as our living surroundings

c. Creating and sporting the attires

d. Accessorizing the looks of a human beings

d. Presenting the food in a visually pleasing manner

e. Mimicing the natures patterns even in our performing arts…..

The list is endless. Here, I try to give a form to the conceptual thought that has been lingering….

Every architectural design has been inspired by the marvelous geometrical shapes that the nature creates, each better than the other. Whether the splendour created hundreds of years ago…

or the modern structures of the new cities…

to the ballustrades and staircases of the ancient..

to the pillars of the magnificient creations of the dynasties…

or the innovative airy walls of the traditional rural homes

to the imaginative tile designs of the floors of magnificient structures…

the flowery patterns of the roof interiors

to the door knobs and handles of traditional homes

the accessories and utilities at home, those that brighten..

those that hold the beautiful and colorful…

to the colorful spreads that bear the heat and weight of many a….

The baskets that hold the juicy and crunchy …

edible creations of the nature…

and that which spice up every pallete…

the lip-smacking sweetmeats…

the colorful attires that we adorn..

the spirals that we hang..

the cottons that we drape..

the patterns that we embed in the creative performances…

of course the human being behind all these creations that mimic nature does not stop from beautifying oneself with those wonderful geometrical patterns!…..
