Pattern

Definition

Recurring forms in nature β€” spirals, waves, branches, nets β€” that inform design.

Interpretation

Patterns are nature’s shorthand for wisdom. The spiral of a snail mirrors galaxies. Branching rivers mirror blood vessels. When we design with patterns, we plug into billions of years of proven experiments.

Living Invitation

Go outside and find three natural patterns (leaf vein, crack in soil, wave in water). Sketch them. Imagine how they could inform a path, roof, or garden.
