About God's Math Esasy Funksiýasy: Şkaf
Kitap Teksti: Hudaýyň Matematikasy — tebigatda duş gelýän matematiki nagyşlardan ylham alnyp döredilen şkafdyr. Fibonaççi spiraly esasy dizaýn elementi bolup, onuň daşyny altyn gatnaşyk we tegelek şekil gurşap alýar. Spiral, agaç korpusyň içinden geçip, ony saklaýan kebşirlenen polat konstruksiýa hökmünde ýasalypdyr. Şkafda iki gapy we üç bölme bar bolup, oňaýly ulanmak üçin saýlanan beýiklikde ýerleşdirilendir. Roswud (rosewood), guşgöz mämişi (birdseye maple) we kokobolo şpon laminatlary gerekli bolan tutuş agaç mukdaryny azaltmaga ýardam berýär. Şkafyň ölçegleri: ini 1219 mm, çuňlugy 508 mm we beýikligi 1981 mm.

Behind the Design

- Unique Properties
- God's Math successfully melds multiple reoccurring mathematical phenomena in nature into an aesthetically pleasing and fully functional interplay of these phenomena, with the Fibonacci Spiral serving as the central design element, surrounded by the Golden Ratio and the divine circle. A fully functional cabinet seemingly floats in an ergonomically optimized location on a piece which is as interesting to look at as it is efficient and practical in its use - Much the same way nature finds order out of chaos.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- Width 1219 mm x Depth 508 mm x Height 1981 mm

- Production Technology
- Project included welding, woodworking and advanced lamination techniques. Rosewood, birdseye maple and Cocobolo were veneer laminates to ensure a sustainable design. Custom forms and creative veneering processes required for both scale and non-linear faces of the piece.
- Design Challenge
- In order for the spiral to accurately represent the Fibonacci Spiral, the mathematical elements were scaled up and represented by the steel welded superstructure. The spiral itself is three distinct components: veneers bent around a form, pressed in a form, and laminated carved pieces of wood. Tangentially related, incorporation of the steel structure into the spiral as it sits within and extending through the spiral.
- Research
- Research conducted on both advanced methods for lamination and the recurring mathematical phenomenons found in nature. A great deal of time was spent pondering how to create an aesthetically pleasing and fully functional interplay of these phenomenons, with the Fibonacci Spiral serving as the central design element. Some experiments were run on stability of laminates for such a large and heavy piece, as well as veneering outside curves.
- Inspiration
- The repeating order in our universe, from galaxies to microorganisms shows repeating patterns which can be demonstrated through mathematics. Italian mathematician, Leonardo of Pisa, wrote about this in 1202 in his book, Liber Abaci. The golden ratio is another recurring mathematical ratio which has captured the attention of some of the greatest minds in history. No design referencing God’s math would be replete without the divinity represented by the circle.
- Project Duration
- Project began in November, 2019 in Greenville, SC and finished in April, 2020. Currently stored in studio.
- Operation Flow
- working cabinet with two doors and three compartments.
