Computational Aesthetics of Low Poly: [Re]Configuration of Form

Abstract

Low-poly modeling as an emerging field in visual arts, product design and architecture has an essential effect both on the designer's and the viewer/user's experience. It has an advanced abstraction ability over the reconfiguration of form. This paper examines the visual features of low-poly form in terms of the computability of its aesthetics. A visual feature classification is made by referencing George David Birkhoff's aesthetic measure theory based on the complexity and order relationship. Topo[i]wall installation has been examined as a case study during the analysis. The relationship between form, computation, aesthetics and human-computer interaction are elaborated according to the results. It has been observed that low poly modeling offers a variation set in terms of compositional features, which are proportion, balance, vertical and horizontal network system while protecting its unity through the analysis of the generated computational model.

An Evaluation of Personalized Learning by Online Informal Education in Case of Design Education

“…The development of digital design tools, workshops, and courses helps students expand their creativity by considering current paradigms of space, humans, and aesthetics. Informal education confidently instills hand drawing and digital design programs to enhance awareness and perception of urbanization while synchronously promoting competition (Turgut & Canturk, 2015;Polatoglu & Vural, 2012;Akcay Kavakoglu, 2015). Both approaches encourage students' motivation and self-confidence and keep them in a constant state of learning.…”
