SELF PORTRAIT Is a reflection of individuals own

works of art manifest throughcollaborative ideas, creativities andimagination that reveal his/her

character

DISCOVERY OF GEOMETRY

It allow you to learn various geometric solid and theirproperties, so you canUse your imagination to explore the number of faces, edges

and vertices in your designs and also how to solve problems

The power of the universe that create harmony arises from thebeauty of nature and the capacity to unify different parts of awhole that each support one another.

GOLDEN SECTION

10/30

A simple form to find proportion of LINES that links point A to point Bto create shapes and patterns.

DISCOVERY OF RECTANGLE

& SQUARE

nature of science that haveeverything to do with human livingconditions.

ea rn in g fr om Tree s an d Bo nes H ow t o Opt imizetr en gt h an d Mater ia lsTrees engineer themselves in a number of ways to maximize their

,strength such as arranging their fibers to minimize stress and(adding material where strength is needed take a look at the extra

, ). material beneath a heavy branch for instance Bones unlike treesin that they must carry moving loads go a step further by

,removing material where it's not needed optimizing their structure.for their dynamic workloads Engineers have incorporated these andother lessons learned from how trees and bones optimize their

strength and minimize their use of materials into software design, ,programs such as Claus Matteck's Soft Kill Option software which

.are revolutionizing industrial design Using these programs to, ,design cars for example has resulted in new vehicle designs that

- , % .are as crash safe as conventional cars yet up to 30 lighter

RULES TO FOLLOW TO DESIGN AMODEL USING RECTANGLE AND

SQUARE

The golden section is a line segment divided according to the golden ratio: Thetotal length a + b is to the longer segment in which the ratio of the longer side tothe shorter is the golden ratioin believing this proportion to be aestheticallypleasing.s a is to the shorter segment b.

Starting from a simple rectangular core thedifferent layers build upon one another creating

increasingly complex geometries
