Sammanfattning
This thesis is an exploration of Cymatics for applying the
emerging patterns as an architectural element. It is energy
produced by vibration propagating in a medium harmonized
and visualized by matter. From an iterative process of
analyzing results to finding techniques to make a solid
structure from something in motion. Focusing on the analog
inherent pattern which represents physical measurements.
Artists have expressed emotions and motions with
soundwaves graphically and musically. In architecture,
music is often referenced to describe buildings.
Architecture for me is sound that is how I arrange and
combine structures, forms, and textures. As a music
composer, I see structures, textures, and forms when I
compose music. These patterns can be seen in churches
and temples as architectural constructs such as in vaults
ornaments and glass windows. Understanding the chosen
analog format and processing the reference material done
in CAD with different scripts contributed to analyzing and
finding similarities between the results. The focus on the
matter is on natural materials that have a long history and
are still developed. In liquid form, the patterns emerge but
when density becomes higher, and the liquid solidifies the
more intense the process becomes. Combining different
materials and ratios to finally make a kinetic rigid
functioned element is a question of increased amplitude
and strength.
