Layering prints and patterns is a design approach that creates a sophisticated look full of depth and dimension. When done incorrectly, however, the result can be a distracting and scattered space. To ...

The boundary of a cell defines the shape and scale of its subcellular organization. However, the effects of the cell's spatial boundaries as well as the geometry sensing and scale adaptation of ...

Understanding the large-scale distribution of species diversity requires distinguishing two of the primary factors that cause compositional differences: dispersal limitation and environmental ...

This latest installment of our quarterly series with the designer takes a deep dive into how materials and shapes add spice to multifamily. Think of pattern and texture as a spice that is one part of ...

Now, in a new study, Milinkovitch and his team reported that the polygonal head scales form due to the growth and compression of skin, which creates a self-organizing pattern of folds. 2 These ...
