| summary |
Modern research on chaos started in the 60's from an incredible finding that simple mathematical equations can model systems as complicated as
waterfalls. In the 70's some scientists in the USA and in Europe started to find their way through the chaos. They were dealing with different
spheres of science: mathematics, physics, biology, chemistry, physiology, ecology, economy. In the next 10 years? time the term 'chaos' has become
generally known in science. Scientists gather in research groups according to their interests as to chaos and secondly according to their scientific
specialities. (Gleick 1996) Objects that described chaos were irregular in shape, ripped. In 1975 Benoit Mandelbrot called them fractals. Fractal
dimension that described fractal objects was also his invention. Fractal dimension is a way to measure quality: the degree of harshness, uneveness,
irregularity of a given object. Carl Bovill (1996) showed how one can use fractal geometry in architecture and designing. This very fact made me
try to use fractal geometry to deal with regional architecture. What or who is the degree of regionality of a given object to be for? A specially
qualified person is able to state it nearly automatically. However, regionality is in some sense an unmeasurable feature. While dealing with data
basis or checking particular projects, creation of procedures of automatic acquiring information concerning regionality is becoming a necessity. |
