CO RELATION BETWEEN RANGOLI AND PATTERNS FORMED BY PLEASING VIBRATION SOUND
Cymatics
RANGOLI A TRADITIONAL INDIAN ART
The rangolis are not only adoration and ornamentation of the earth which sustains us, but equally a ritual invocation of the gods for acquiring their blessings, thus making these floor designs a visual prayer created on earth. The term is derived from Greek words, ‘Geo’ and ‘Metron’, meaning ‘Earth’ and ‘Measurement’ respectively. Based on the meaning of its term, the actual connection of this branch f mathematics is to entail the properties of space with other objects relatively positioned within their own measurements. The same concept of geometry is used in the traditional art of rangoli as well. Each shape and structure has its distinctive significance in the field and radiates its individuality in terms of religiousness and auspiciousness.
THE SHAPE OF SOUND
Cymatics
The harmonic vibration patterns manifests into pleasing sounds which can soothe the mind. Similarly, in the visual domain, we have corresponding harmonics for every frequency which when combined, leads to artistic patterns which are pleasing to see and have a calming effect. There is a separate field of science called which deals with the relationship between vibrations and the geometric patterns corresponding to it.
IMPLEMENTING THIS GEOMETRY INTO SPATIAL PLANNING AND FORM
ENERGY DRIVEN FORM FINDING
The concept of cymatics and the principles of geometry are implemented in the master planning through a variety of factors. Along with that, the similar concept is used for the form derivation of architectural elements like the windows, facade and chajjas
