The fractal was defined and developed by B. B. Mandelbrot of IBM in 1975. Able to directly study the internal rule by starting from the complicated phenomenon, fractal theory can describe complicated phenomenon in natural world.Nowadays, in-depth study and exploration are conducted for fractal in almost all domains of science; some architects have paid attention to it in contemporary architecture design and gained some enlightenment.From the perspective of architecture design, the differences of architectural styles in different eras reflect the changes of design thinking in various eras. Due to comprehension about fractal, contemporary architects desireto design architecture works with fractal concept, so as to reflect the beauty and diversity of nature.With development of such thought, fractal theory has become a starting point for new thought of architects.Its development has drawn more and more attention.Based on the latest nonlinear mathematical theory of fractal geometry, this paper generates multiple 3D model prototypes for selection by applying nonlinear IFS, and further processes the models into design schemes of fractal architecture.This paper hopes to provide a new design thought and means for architecture design. |
