1. Learning objectives

Your competency area 10 (D) Descriptive and Mathematical Modeling will make a quantum leap and you have an opportunity to create aesthetic qualities to be proud of.

2. Learning activities

Golden Ratio refers to the number 1.618033989... used by architects, painters and designers for centuries. It occurs frequently in what nature has designed for us. In an early version of our module we studied these phenomena, see for example the beautiful movie

At present we are ready to move much further than a simple ratio and explore relations between beauty and geometry, between aesthetics and mathematics. In this module we create patterns and symmetries, very much like Esher did. But we shall avail ourselves of powerful tools such as matrix algebra and Processing libraries for Turtle Graphics, Vectors and Mesh diagrams, next to the Speedy 300 laser cutter at HG 2.63. What we can achieve with such tools applied to colored plastic such as

and at the small exhibition at HG 3.42- HG 3.46.

But if you want, we could go further, perhaps explore fractals, cell structures, or connect to fashion, see for example

5. Information lecturers

Loe Feijs is professor Industrial Design of Embedded Systems. He studied electrical engineering and holds a Ph.D in computer science. He worked in telecommunication research (CSELT), telecommunication industry (PTI), in software research (Philips Nat Lab), in embedded systems (EESI), and in industrial design (TU/e). He was the director of the Eindhoven embedded systems institute. He has been vice-dean of ID from 2001 to 2006 with the responsibility of building-up ID research at TU/e. He (co-)authored several books on formal specifications and created mathematical theories of modular software design, such as lp calculus and relation partition algebra (RPA). Loe Feijs also likes hands-on work, witnessed by his 4D-sketching, Mondrian software and the assignment Timing Circuits.

Jun Hu has a PhD in Industrial Design and a Professional Doctorate in User-system Interaction, both from Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e). He has also a B.Sc in Mathematics and a M.Eng in Computer Science. He is a System Analyst and a Senior Programmer, qualified in 1996 and 1994 respectively by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of China. He worked in signal processing as an software engineer at the Computational Center and Institute of Geophysics of Jiangsu Oil Exploration Co. (JEOCO) from 1990 to 1994, in management information systems and computer aided design at the Information Center of Shaanxi Construction Machinery Co. Ltd. (SCMC) from 1994 to 1996, in scientific data visualization at the department of computer science of Northwest University from 1996 to 1999. He was a research assistant at the Center of User-system Interaction of TU/e from 1999 to 2001. He was a researcher in the Media Interaction Group at Philips Research Eindhoven from 2000 to 2003. From 2006 to 2007 he served as the Secretary-General for The Association of Chinese Scholars and Engineers in the Netherlands (VCWI) and from 2008 to 2009 as the Chairman. He has been a board member of Center for Chinese Professionals in the Netherlands (CCPN) since 2009. He is now a tenured Assistant Professor at Department of Industrial Design, TU/e, a Guest Professor at School of Digital Media, Jiangnan University. He is an associated editor of the International Journal of Arts and Technology. He is an author of several open source and commercial software products. He has about 80 peer reviewed publications in conferences and journals in the field of HCI, industrial design, computer science and design education. His current research activities are directed towards Design Research on Social Computing
