One of the main findings can be characterized as a large cognitive cost, both in terms of speed and accuracy that occurs whenever the reference system used to encode ...

Complexity across scales in the work of Le Corbusier Using box-counting as a method for analysing facades

Since Benoît Mandelbrot raised the question about the length of Britain’s coastline in 1967, it has become obvious that fractal geometry is appropriate for describing irregular forms. In 1996 Carl Bovill applied box-counting, a fractal analysis method, for the first time to architecture in order to quantify the characteristic visual complexity of facades. This paper presents an approach utilizi...
