Design by geometry
caoimghgin (842 pencils) | Fri, 2011-09-30 21:19Apparently, I couldn't wait for somebody to write a book about this, so I started my own blog about sacred geometry in modern design.
I plan on adding new designs and deconstructing them back to their original shapes, to show the method and the excellence of sacred geometric in design.

First post features the Klingon D7 Class Battlecruiser and how the same principles that created the Celtic knot are in the creation of this classic ship design by Matt Jeffries.
The post is *not* 100% complete. What was strong about the blog? What do you want to see more of? Was anything not convincing?
Thanks guys.

I'm disappointed that your line didn't read...
"Apparently, I couldn't wait for somebody to write a book about this, so I started my own BOOK..."
As I thought that that was where it was going, considering your input previously based on the golden ratio.
I definitely like the fact that you contrast the Klingon D7 Class Battlecruiser with the Celtic knot - it just reiterates the universal nature of the subject. I'd like to see more examples, more examples, more examples.
I take it you'd have seen the film 'Pi'?!

In which case, is this not the pursuit of finding the number or algorithm which explains everything!?

Hahah! OK! OK! I'll do more examples! Maybe overlaying old symbols over the template.
I think I need a page which goes over the basic elements of sacred geometry to include golden ratio, Fibonacci numbers and the common shapes used in this design philosophy.

Not sure what's causing this, but see attachment for how your page renders in Safari 5.1 (on my machine at least). It's fine in Chrome and Firefox.
Weird! Works on my Safari 5.1/OSX Lion. Might need to migrate to another blog hosting site.
