Benford's Architecture

Sammanfattning: All around us, our world is filled of physical laws and natural orders. As long as our species has had consciousness we have searched for those orders, wether it be among other species, mathematics or even architecture. This thesis will be exploring Benfords law: One of the orders applied to most of our world. The law itself is applied to large sets of numerical data and points to the fact that we do not use numbers uniformly. This has been utilized in a lie-de- tector fashion across a variety of sciences, as natural data follows the curve of Benfords law - but falsified or manipulated data deviates from it. So what can this tell us about architecture? Does it hold the true way of building and living, or is it a new take on the golden ratio? This work takes us through a series of generated forms to conclude some of the questions that the elected theme poses.
