From Object to Field

One can only experience what one feels. A group is a tendency towards an individual. For example, rule-makers like blue and hate red. Then those who are limited to this rule should not abide by it. The collapse of any single individual is due to the failure of the whole system. If you want to solve a problem, it’s useless to treat an individual alone, but start from the whole.

Geometric vs. Algebraic Combination

In my opinion, to a certain extent, architecture is the materialized expression of mathematics.  Because mathematics is a discipline that reveals the laws in the world we live in, and architecture is one of the products that are put into practice based on human understanding of these laws.  If you study the development of architecture and mathematics a little, it is not difficult to find that the two are often mutually reinforcing or even integrated. Renaissance painting, sculpture and architecture research on perspective relations and human proportions will undoubtedly promote geometric and other related Disciplinary development.

Walking Out of Cubism

Cubism is a school of the art full of ideas. It mainly pursues the beauty of a geometric form and the aesthetic feeling produced by the arrangement and combination of forms. It negates the traditional method of observing and expressing things from one point of view and sums up the picture of three-dimensional space into the picture of plane and two-dimensional space. The most outstanding achievement of Cubism art is to break through the limitation that painting can only express three-dimensional space before, and create the fourth-dimensional space, but Cubism art introduces the concept of “time-space” for the development of architecture.

Thick 2-D

This part reminds me of op art. Optical art is also called “visual effect art” or “light effect art”. It is a kind of art form popular in the mid-1960s, which uses the complex arrangement, contrast, interlace, and overlap of black and white or color geometry patterns to make the optic nerve produce dazzling light effect phenomenon and visual illusion effect in the contact process with the picture pattern.

Flocks, Schools, Swarms, Crowds

Nowadays, with the increasing globalization, the concept of “global village” has been confirmed and realized more and more. Individuals always have to survive in groups. Therefore, it is inevitable that individual activities are restricted. We are very happy to see that individual values are increasingly revealed, and discussions on individual activities such as feminism, homosexuality and so on are put on the agenda. However, no matter how the society develops, the individual cannot escape from the group’s independent existence, and how to explore the individual consciousness in the group and realize the maximization and optimization of their own rights and autonomy is a problem that people have to consider.
