Spanish graphic designer Cristóbal Vila of Etérea Studio makes a short and pretty digital video of the mathematical world we live in.  Frank Lloyd Wright also gets some screen time in the back catalogue.

Yes, I know you know about this stuff, but for some early-week reminders of the pretty goodness out there, give a couple minutes to Cristóbal who has digitised and animated some beautiful mathematics.

In the short video, he introduces some basic mathematical relationships, the Fibonacci Sequence, the Golden Ratio (ah! and from it such architectural pleasure!), and concludes with the Voronoi Tessellations, all beautifully strung together on screen.

As I say, some of it has had plenty of media mileage in the past, but I do think this video is doing some great things, especially in animating the mathematics so clearly.

Check out the video here.





Stills from Nature by Numbers.


As I was looking over Vila's back catalogue of works, I couldn't help throw this one in too.  Completed in 2007, it's another short film re-animating Frank Lloyd Wrights' Fallingwater house.  Although the rendering is beautiful (cranking the soft-focus), what is of particularly intriguing here is the animated re-construction process of the building from scratch, revealing the rarely seen extent and scale of the project, as well as some interesting little nooks, crannies and corners of the fairly huge house for the Kaufmann's.  

Check it out here.







I wish I had an appropriate link with Naughty By Nature, but I don't, I just wanted to call my post that.  More then happy for theories to be proposed which connect Fibonacci, Fallingwater and the '90s hip hop crew.
