Leonardo Extreme –– MathLapse
Submitted by Jürgen Richter-... on
Most people know the Leonardo Bridge.
Only few people know that you can complete the structure to a full circle.
This circle forms a kind of tensegrity structure and has amazing stability.
But as soon as one rod looses its contact………. let’s see.

An elegant 3D puzzle.
Put the 45 pieces back in the shell… and get an object that is the shadow of a hugely symmetric 4D object.
MathLapse- L- System for Single Knot Kolam Pattern Generation II
Submitted by Brunda Alagarsamy on
Lindermayer system is a parallel rewriting system and a type of formal grammar. It consists of an alphabet of symbols that can be used to make strings, a collection of production rules that expand each symbol into some larger string of symbols.
The recursive nature of L system rules leads to self similarity and thereby fractal like forms are easy to describe with an L system. This nature is applied in generating kolam pattern. Kolam pattern becomes more complex by increasing the iteration level.

In the art form of SUZHI KOLAM/ KAMBI KOLAM, dots called pulli are arranged in rhombic, square, triangular, or free shapes, and a single, uninterrupted linear or curvilinear line, called the kambi, intertwines the dots.
