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.
