Pattern from nature
Analytical drawing-Movement Analyzing the pattern to find out which kind of tooling is influence its movement into the realm of material. I think recipe for packing is the most suitable one. As the shape of circle in my pattern is not too close or too far to its neighbors. Then I start to create the circle of random size and avoid overlaping. Although the gap between the circles is still large and not equal but they show o potential movement to picked up together creating a very strong construction, owing to the sphere’s inherent stability and tendency for a collection of spheres to produce multiple points of tangency.
Analytical drawing-Symmetry When I considering the symmetry of my pattern I think it is really difficult as it just shows a combination of prominent parts of different size and small hollows. How can it be symmetry? Then I use the method described in first stage outlined in ‘Analytical Drawing’. 1. I draw a simple overview form of my pattern based on the center of the prominent parts. 2. In order to find the hidden relationships I link the center fortunately a geometric focal point appears. 3. Finally I want to simplify my whole drawing to show its symmetry and indicate the hidden tension relationships in the structure, which use the law of second stage. So I pick out three points in my drawing and link them to the center with broader lines. Now you can see the symmetry in the diagonal direction.
1. Pick out the center of the prominent parts 2.link the center 3. Find the geometric center of the polygon 4. Find the symmetry according to the law of tension
Recipe of Symmetry
Analytical drawing-Balance In terms of balance I would like to use the third stage method (translation). How to manage my pattern to abstract language. I try to do the utmost simplification of my pattern, just use lines to find the hidden structure from the relationship between the diagonals. In my own opinion this drawing is part of recipe for tilling if the pattern is repeating for more times.
1. primary analytical drawing of balance 2. simpily the image make it more organized 3. the basic element from my drawing 4. mirror my basic element in the following steps call it part A 5. using the scale to make the next one 0.8 times of the previous one and link them to let all of them look like a triangle. in the following steps call it part B.

1. The basic component of my model, making by one 1 bigger flat surface link with 2 smaller surface in about 25 degree. ďźˆBigger one length 6.5cm width 2.5cm, smaller one length 4.5cm width 2.5cm 2. Mirror the model made in step 1 in the edge of the smaller surface and link them wth glue 3.Copy the model in step 2 and link them in horizontalily direction.

4. Scale the component of the model in step 3 let them becoming smaller than the previous one about 0. 8 times. 5. Rotate the individual component about 15 degree to let the outline like a part of a circle.

Pattern Formation In Nature
The first graph is my pattern, which is found from the micro view of a piece of leaf. From it the interior system can be clearly seen. Followed by is the image of palm leaf, dahlia flower and sunflower. It’s an interesting phenomenon whatever these pattern look like they are all self-organized. It is know that these common features of natural patterns result from mathematical analogies and equivalences. Focusing on analyzing my pattern I find the rules of attraction and repulsion. It’s a system involving symmetry-breaking creating a spatial segregation of the constituents so it has a special boundary condition. In the other view this pattern is also a kind of chemical patterns. The pattern comes from the balance between two states.
Related Pattern from other fields Two images from the precedent architecture, in these patterns there are combination of different size of emissions with the effect of light the shadow create a magic feeling. My emerging model using this idea.
The phenomenon of interference explain my idea in the other aspect. In the microworld it describe the distortion of light which would be the main idea of my design lantern

Light in Nature

1. This is picture of the projection from the leaves, the light is coming from the top of the leaf. 2.This is a picture of lighting passing through the grass which coming from the front horizontal direction. 3. This is a picture of light coming from the left about 45 degree above the horizontal These graphs about light in nature give me ideas about how to control the direction of the incident light to have different shadow create different feelings
Light In Architecture
Architect Thomas Herzog designed these stylish timber shells displays at the World Expo 2000 in Hannover, Germany. I find this example interesting because it’s beautiful and plays with brightness shadow and distortion using the idea of direct and filtered which I would like to put into my lattern .
Further development of the lantern
Lighting change the perception of lantern. This is the model of my lattern it will be hold interface with my hand.About 1:5 sacale related to the overall lattern.
Consider how light or lighting can change the perception of my lantern. Using the idea of direct filtered and diffuses to control the light and make it distortion.
