Task for week 2 : 3 Images of 3 different systems/ themes

Leaf Structure


The leaf structure is constructed by the veins that running through the leaf. Veins are made of Xylem and Pholem which bring food and water to leaf also dissolve sucrose. Xylem and Pholem are considered to be tubes that run across and all over the leaf, create an incredible pattern and series of geometry. I found this interesting because I am amazed of how nature can create such a system that functionally and visually beautiful.

Spider Web


Another amazing image of spider web. The structure is built naturally but create quite a perfect set of geometry. Series of rectangular shape (or almose perfect rectangle) have been structured into the web. I am interested in the shape and series of rectangle (as I would say) are formed by different size of rectangles. They are natually created but some how give the perfect result of rectangular series.

Honeycomb


I would considered honeycomb to be another structure that are amazingly beautiful. In terms of geometry that are formed. Honeycomb is constructe by multiple of hexagon (hexagon-liked shape) and equally in size (as I noticed), creating a wonderful structure that visually beatiful and perfect in structure.
