Fractal Garden: Legge Lewis Legge

I am in love with all things modular, so I have to bookmark this "fractal garden" by Legge Lewis Legge.

An incredibly simple, nomadic concept, Fractal Garden is made up of 21 planters on wheels, each of which can be moved and regrouped to form an infinite number of designs.

"The set of 21 planters consists of 7 each of 3 specific diamond shapes and ground cover plantings. Each shape is a 4-sided polygon containing 2 specific angles. All 6 angles in the set are multiples of 1/14th of 360°, making the diamonds fit together in many ways both symmetrically and asymmetrically. This division of 14ths of 360° is a function of fractal geometry, mimicking the structural patterning of natural forms." (http://www.leggelewislegge.com/fg.html#)

  1. Wow! I make a magnetic tiling toy with the very same geometry. It's called Fractiles-7. Take a look at my website www.fractiles.com.
