PRESERVING LOCAL ORNAMENT THROUGH ALGORITHM
Abstract: This study employs
fractal algorithms to generate and transform original Aceh ornaments into
architectural design elements. The interpretation and generation of this
ornaments by fractal method uses L-system based software called jBatik. We
studied an approach of preserving local ornaments using three stages:
understanding the local ornament geometry function, interpreting and generating
new ornament using fractal method, exploring the possible iterations of
patterns based on fractal algorithms. We applied this process into
architectural design experiments where the 3D patterns used as an architectural
design elements. The result shows that the possibility of preserving local
ornament by fractal method can open opportunity for architects to explore new
approach in design using the iteration and transformation of local ornaments.
The endless possibilities offered by fractal method for generating new ornaments
justify the digital advancement for its preservation.
