London Craft Week maybe officially over for 2024 but there is still time to enjoy The Architecture of Nature: Geometry, Structure & Space at The Garrison Chapel, in Chelsea Barracks, running until May 27th 2024.
The exhibition of geometric structures on display were built as part of a recent course offered by The King's Foundation School of Traditional Arts, which explores traditional craft techniques.
The Architecture of Nature: Geometry, Structure & Space delves into the distinctive geometry found in nature and its influence on philosophical thought, scientific theories, and art and architecture throughout history, featuring immersive three-dimensional polyhedral structures created in a geometry workshop.
Through these impressive polyhedral structures, the exhibition investigates how patterns in nature and space manifest, demonstrating how geometry shapes art, craft, and the rhythms and structures of life—from towering buildings to the delicate symmetry of flowers.
The exhibition also explores the symbolism of geometry and its connections to philosophical and scientific theories, referencing the works of Plato, Leonardo da Vinci, and Johannes Kepler.
