Sustainable Mediterranean Construction
Sustainable Mediterranean Construction
The concept of fractal is extremely recent. The term ‘fractal’ is a neologism introduced in 1975 by the Polish-French mathematician French Benoît Mandelbrot in the book Fractal Objects: Form, Chance and Dimension. Galileo stated that “The book of nature is written in the language of mathematics”, and that “its characters are triangles, circles and many other geometric figures”. Also, thanks to the research carried out by mathematicians from the second half of the 19th century in the field of non-linear geometry, Mandelbrot realised that the natural world is complex, chaotic and ill-suited to being described through the forms of Euclidean geometry. In fact “clouds are not spheres, mountains are not cones […] barks are not smooth and not even lightning travels in a straight line.” Thus, Mandelbrot enriched mathematics with a new kind of geometry, the ‘fractal geometry’, which can effectively describe the complexity and irregularity of reality with mathematical tools.
