Abstract

The role of geometry in human movement is not as evident as the presence of geometric configurations in art, architecture and design. In this paper, I summarize how my research on geometric configurations transitioned, from theoretical explorations and computational design, to built objects and movement practices. The geometric properties of the icosahedron, one of the five regular polyhedra, are applied to interpret the proportions of the human body, guiding and inspiring movements leading to mindfulness.
