Creación de patrones fractales a partir del análisis de especies nativas de Agua Santa.

Abstract

The main objective of this technical project was to create fractal patterns by analyzing the native species of Agua Santa for the development of a signage program. For this, the Andean Fractal Design Method was used, following these steps: first, the problem was identified, then the field research was carried out, where the native plants of Agua Santa were identified, and the most representative species were selected, then the photographic record of the Chilca negra was made and then the vectorization of the samples (plant, branch, leaf, and inflorescence). The next step was the proportional analysis, in which the measurements of the samples were established, and with this, the proportional ratios were found. Consequently, the fractal vector scheme of the samples' segments (branch and leaf) was made to determine the species with the best proportional qualities, with sample two being the most suitable due to its proximity to the mean. Once the sample was selected, the botanical illustration was carried out; the abstraction process was conducted using quantitative and qualitative variables. Then, the biomorphic analysis was performed using the compositional design categories. Finally, the design patterns were created and applied to the design proposal of a signage project using the method applied to signage by Joan Costa. It was concluded that the patterns obtained comply with the design guidelines, adapt to different supports, and generate formal and chromatic harmony. It is recommended that other species, not only native ones, be used to obtain new patterns that strengthen the identity of the Agua Santa community.
