 Fractal Architecture by Michael Ostwald for the Nexus Network Journal vol.3 no.1 Winter 2001   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
This paper focuses primarily on architectural appropriations of fractal geometry to briefly describe more than twenty years of "fractal architecture" and to identify key trends or shifts in the development, acceptance and rejection of this concept.
When in 1995 Charles Jencks belatedly published a polemical call for architecture to model a new, cosmogenic or fractalesque aesthetic, (a position that he had developed from his study of the sciences of complexity) the critics were sufficiently forewarned that they were able to respond with a flurry of damning reviews.
That is, few architects have discussed the way in which architecture is used by scientists and mathematicians working in the sciences of complexity and conversely, even fewer scientists or mathematicians have noted the way in which architects borrow scientific or geometric theories from complexity.
