Computer Reconstructions of Escher’s Drawings
نویسنده
چکیده
M.C. Escher illustrated his mathematical investigations of the constructive elements of this world in a form of two-dimensional drawings, which inspired many computer scientists to make computer reproductions and reconstructions. We introduce unusual higher-dimensional computer reconstructions to illustrate our research results in geometric modeling problems arising from analysis of Escher’s artworks.

Art-Inspired Modeling and Visualization
The mathematical investigations of Roger Penrose inspired Dutch artist M.C. Escher to illustrate in his drawings the constructive elements of this world. We introduce unusual higher-dimensional computer reconstructions of some drawings for presenting our research results in solving geometric modeling problems arising from analysis of Escher’s artworks. The following identified problems had no g...
متن کاملDihedral Escherization
“Escherization” [9] is a process that finds an Escher-like tiling of the plane from tiles that resemble a user-supplied goal shape. We show how the original Escherization algorithm can be adapted to the dihedral case, producing tilings with two distinct shapes. We use a form of the adapted algorithm to create drawings in the style of Escher’s print Sky and Water. Finally, we develop an Escheriz...
متن کاملStumbling unto Grace: Invention and the Poetics of Imagination
Douglas Hofstadter shows in his hybrid of fiction and mathematical introduction Gödel, Escher, Bach—An Eternal Golden Braid (1979), how the paradoxes inherent in Gödel’s theorem (that “no fixed system, no matter how complicated, could represent the complexity of the whole numbers” (p. 19).), Escher’s complex drawings and Bach’s compositional techniques are isomorphic across disciplines. From La...
متن کاملDinoMorph: Parametric Modeling of Skeletal Structures
A parametric approach towards modeling is advocated for skeletal reconstructions. Three-dimensional digital reconstructions are compared with conventional two-dimensional illustrations, particularly silhouette drawings. The advantages of the parametric system provided by the DinoMorph software include: open access to all data comprising the model and the rendering algorithms for the independen...
متن کاملنقش رایانه در طراحی فرش (در سه دهه اخیر)
Design, color and pattern, which are of the carpet overriding esthetic elements, create identity for a carpet. Designers have been depicting the most beautiful and attractive pictures as the carpet design for the past centuries. The history of incorporating computer-based designs into carpets does not exceed three decades; therefore, it is a present-day technology adopted: In the similar vein, ...
