  • The Angel's Way Route Seaton Sluice to Chester-Le-Street
    Northern Saints Trails The Angel’s Way Seaton Sluice to Chester-le-Street 49 kms, 30.5 miles Introduction The Angel’s Way is an important link in the network of the Northern Saints Trails. This route between Seaton Sluice and Chester-le-Street means that there is a continuous 114 mile route between Lindisfarne and Durham, using St Oswald’s Way as far as Warkworth, The Way of the Sea from Warkworth to Seaton Sluice and after The Angel’s Way, Cuddy’s Corse (which is also part of The Way of Learning) from Chester-le-Street to Durham. All the Northern Saints Trails use the waymark shown here. In two parts, from near Holywell to Camperdown and from Bowes Railway Path to West Urpeth, the route follows The Tyne & Wear Heritage Way which is well signed and the waymark is also shown here. The route is divided into 4 sections, 3 of which are between 13 to 14 kilometres or 8 to 8.5 miles in length and section 3 from Millennium Bridge to The Angel of the North is just 8 kilometres or 5 miles. The route is of course named after the iconic Angel of the North designed by Antony Gormley. Since it was erected in 1998, it has quickly become Britain’s best known sculpture. When he designed the sculpture Gormley deliberately angled the wings 3.5 degrees forward to create what he described as “a sense of embrace”. This ties in with the protective concept of the guardian angel and if you want to engage with that theme as you journey on The Angel’s Way, perhaps this prayer will be appropriate: Angel of God, my guardian dear, to whom God’s love commits me here, ever this day, be at my side, to light and guard rule and guide.

  • Fractal Wallpaper Patterns Douglas Dunham John Shier
    Fractal Wallpaper Patterns Douglas Dunham John Shier Department of Computer Science 6935 133rd Court University of Minnesota, Duluth Apple Valley, MN 55124 USA Duluth, MN 55812-3036, USA [email protected] [email protected] http://john-art.com/ http://www.d.umn.edu/˜ddunham/ Abstract In the past we presented an algorithm that can fill a region with an infinite sequence of randomly placed and progressively smaller shapes, producing a fractal pattern. In this paper we extend that algorithm to fill rectangles and triangles that tile the plane, which yields wallpaper patterns that are locally fractal in nature. This produces artistic patterns which have a pleasing combination of global symmetry and local randomness. We show several sample patterns. Introduction We have described an algorithm [2, 4, 6] that can fill a planar region with a series of progressively smaller randomly-placed motifs and produce pleasing patterns. Here we extend that algorithm to fill rectangles and triangles that can fill the plane, creating “wallpaper” patterns. Figure 1 shows a randomly created circle pattern with symmetry group p6mm. In order to create our wallpaper patterns, we fill a fundamental region Figure 1: A locally random circle fractal with global p6mm symmetry. for one of the 17 2-dimensional crystallographic groups with randomly placed, progressively smaller copies of a motif, such as a circle in Figure 1. The randomness generates a fractal pattern. Then copies of the filled fundamental region can be used to tile the plane, yielding a locally fractal, but globally symmetric pattern. In the next section we recall how the basic algorithm works and describe the modifications needed to create wallpaper patterns.

  • Bridgescape As an Assessment Tool in the Socio- Spatial and Visual Connections of the Central Urban Areas of Newcastle and Gateshead
    Special Issue, | Roadscape, 8(36) Bridgescape as an Assessment Tool in the Socio- spatial and Visual Connections of the Central Urban Areas of Newcastle and Gateshead Goran Erfani Abstract | Newcastle University, UK Growing roads and mobility have led to the formation of new landscape types: known bridgescape or bridge landscape. The social, [email protected] cultural, and visual impacts of bridges on their surroundings as drivers and symbols of the development have gained increasing significance in roadscape studies. This article aims to assess the role and design of bridges in the socio-spatial and visual connections of the central urban areas of Newcastle and Gateshead, located in North East England, by the criterion of the bridgescape. The findings of this article show that bridges are not only transitional passages; rather, they can be socio-spatial destinations for people to meet, do collective activities and improve their environmental perceptions. In urban milieu, landmarks have dissimilar impacts on visual connections and bridgescape. Characteristic and contrasting landmarks improve bridgescapes; however, corrupting landmarks have a destructive role in bridgescape. Keywords | Bridgescape (bridge landscape), Socio-Spatial Connections, Visual Connections. 32 No.36 Autumn 2016 Goran Erfani Introduction | Bridges are a vital element in ground from landscape architects to structural engineers. transportation networks, which connect cities, communities In North east England, the city of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, and even nations. Within urban areas, bridges not only have a commonly known as Newcastle, is well-known for its key role in the spatial connection of places but also can facilitate bridgescape. Seven different bridges across a mile long stretch or interrupt social activities.

    3 Đối xứng trong nghệ thuật Hình 3.1: Mái nhà thờ Sagrada Familia ở Barcelona (Tây Ban Nha), do nghệ sĩ kiến trúc sư Antonio Gaudí (1852–1926) thiết kế, nhìn từ bên trong gian giữa. Nguồn: wikipedia. 59 Chương 3. Đối xứng trong nghệ thuật Các hình đối xứng là các hình có sự giống nhau giữa các phần, tức là chúng tuân thủ nguyên lý lặp đi lặp lại của cái đẹp. Chính bởi vậy mà trong nghệ thuật, và trong cuộc sống hàng ngày, chúng ta gặp rất nhiều hình đối xứng đẹp mắt. Ngay các bài thơ, bản nhạc cũng có sự đối xứng. Tuy nhiên chương này sẽ chỉ bàn đến đối xứng trong các nghệ thuật thị giác (visual arts). Các phép đối xứng Hình 3.2: Mặt nước phản chiếu tạo hình ảnh với đối xứng gương. Trong toán học có định lý sau: Mọi phép biến đổi bảo toàn khoảng cách trong không gian bình thường của chúng ta (tức là không gian Euclid 3 chiều hoặc trên mặt phẳng 2 chiều) đều thuộc một trong bốn loại sau: 60 Chương 3. Đối xứng trong nghệ thuật 1) Phép đối xứng gương (mirror symmetry), hay còn gọi là phép phản chiếu (reflection): trong không gian 3 chiều thì là phản chiếu qua một mặt phẳng nào đó, còn trên mặt phẳng thì là phản chiếu qua một đường thẳng. 2) Phép quay (rotation): trong không gian 3 chiều thì là quay quanh một trục nào đó, còn trên mặt phẳng thì là quay quanh một điểm nào đó, theo một góc nào đó.

  • Computer-Aided Generation of Escher-Like Sky and Water Tiling Patterns
    Computer-Aided Generation of Escher-like Sky and Water Tiling Patterns Kokichi Sugihara∗ Meiji University, 4-21-1 Nakano, Nakano-ku, Tokyo 164-8525, Japan [email protected] Abstract Dutch graphic artist M. C. Escher created many interesting prints based on tiling patterns. A typical example of such a print is Sky and Water I, in which a bird at the top deforms gradually towards the bottom and melts away into the background, while a fish gradually appears from the background. This paper presents an interactive system for creating Escher-like Sky and Water tiling patterns. In this system, a user supplies two figures, and the system places deformed copies of them in such a way that, from top to bottom, one figure gradually disappears into the background, while the other figure gradually appears from the background. The system combines tiling, morphing, and figure-ground reversal. The user can also specify the density of and a global pattern for the tiling. Keywords: tiling, morphing, Escher, figure-ground reversal, optical illusion. AMS MSC Code: 68U05 1 Introduction M. C. Escher (1898{1972), a Dutch graphic artist, created many interesting works based on tiling. A typical class of tiling art is based on isohedral tiling, in which identical tiles are placed so that the plane is covered without gaps or overlaps and each tile is surrounded in the same manner. For this class of tiling, possible patterns can be enumerated using a group-theoretic approach, and the complete list of 17 symmetry groups and the complete list of 93 types of incidence structure for tile boundaries have been constructed [6, 10].
