From the core of a sunflower, to mosaic patterns and the many mathematical equations that try to decipher natural forms of life, patterns are everywhere. Since the beginning of time, we have been fascinated by patterns. And we built our lifestyles around it. Simply because we are creatures of habit and order who seek answers to one simple question: What is our purpose?
You might be wondering how would our understanding of patterns answer this question. Well, that is because the smaller Why’s unveil the path to the bigger picture. Patterns have become so important to the extent that we incorporated them into our lives vividly and subliminally. In art, patterns reveal a lot about the painting or the artwork. In the world of mosaics, mosaic patterns are captivating creations of meaning, luxury and beauty within your interiors.
What are Patterns?
Humans started noticing patterns in nature. Since prehistoric times, we see danger from rustles in a bush. We know someone is around from footprints. And the list goes on. Then, as humanity evolved, we observed patterns in weather, seasons, and even the core of sunflowers or the spirals of a wave.
Nature has its own order and it was clearly trying to convey a message of meaning. As we progressed, it became important to uncover the sequence of these patterns to understand the order within nature. And to replicate them in order to automate many aspects of our lives. From there, theories like Fibonacci’s sequence and many others arised. You might also recall the study of patterns from Alan Turing, the mathematician who uncovered the code of Germans in WW2 who was featured in the movie “The Imitation Game”. Simply, a pattern is a repeated design or model.
The Evolution of Patterns
As our desire of self expression evolved, art progressed. And patterns became an essential part of decorating spaces. At first, designers derived their inspiration from nature. Consequently, designs like floral patterns, leaves, animal patterns, and so on flooded interiors. Surely, we can’t oversee the Victorian patterns that ruled interiors for decades and still are. That’s simply because patterns, like anything in design are a trend. It’s true that “ Everything is old is new again”.
