This project, entitled fivefoldness in 2D and 3D, was taken up due to the special relevance it has that it is one of the most widely occurring forms of symmetry in nature, especially in the plant kingdom. In this project, it was decided to look into the meaning of symmetry, the various aspects of expression of fivefold symmetry and its possible connection with weaving in bamboo.
The first part of the project involves mainly the documentation of symmetry and fivefoldness. The second part consists of the exploration of bamboo weaving in 2D and its exploration into 3D.
The main aim of this project was to get a better understanding of symmetry, especially fivefold symmetry, and to open a new direction for exploration into bamboo weaving using fivefoldness in 2D and 3D.
