way--it wants to obey gravity and doesn't care how it does it. As opposed
to something like wood or solid stone, which have to heavily processed to

Michael Batty and Paul Longley (1994) Fractal Cities, Academic
Press, London and San Diego, CA

Fractal Cities is a pioneering study of the development and use
of fractal geometry for understanding and planning the
physical form of cities, showing how this geometry enables
insights into the complexity of social systems. The authors
provide an intelligible and gentle introduction to fractal
geometry as well as an exciting visual understanding of the
form of cities, thus providing one of the best introductions to
fractal geometry available for non-mathematicians and social
scientists.

Fractal Cities can be used as a text for courses on geographic
information systems, urban geography, regional science and
fractal geometry. Planners and architects will also find that
there are many aspects of fractal geometry in this book
relevant to their own interests. Furthermore, those involved in

Item #15417 (7 Oct 2000 10:50) - Re: gehry and fractals
Mandelbrot argues persuasively that many natural forms are
fractal--this is why fractals can be used to generate natural-seeming
images. Rather than showing us new forms, fractal geometry is a tool
that can be used to understand natural form. Thus, designers who
that is repeated transformed by moderately consistent geometric rules
on a consistent set of scales will gradually take on a fractal form.
Thus, Arab cities, whose public/private boundaries were for a long
time largely governed by local rules at a variety of scales, have
developed fractal street plans. Old rambling houses often have a
fractal quality, like trees.

In his book, Bovill attempts to prove that Wright's (and others') work
is 'intuitively' fractal in conception. I'm believe this theory has been
applied to music as well.

My former colleague, Carl Bovill, wrote a book on fractals entitled
"Fractal Geometry in Architecture and Design." It's rather interesting,
applying fractal analysis to work of Frank Lloyd Wright, among others.

Online Planning Journal 5 (to appear in 1999), approximately 12 pages.
Covers topics such as how our fractal mind influences fractal qualities in
man-made structures such as buildings and artworks. Touches on Jungian
archetypes, and analyzes how the Modernist anti-fractal attitude is
antithetical to ecological thinking.
(in preparation)
Urban boundaries in living cities have fractal dimension ranging between
0.5 for arcades, up to 1.5 for undulating walls that accommodate activity
nodes. Contemporary cities limit their boundaries to fractal dimension
exactly one.
