Rafael Araujo on Geometry in Nature: "Each Drawing Is a Strict Algorithm"

Subscriber Access

Rafael Araujo is a Venezuelan architect and illustrator who began observing intelligent patterns in nature when he was only fifteen years old. For over 40 years, he has been drawing them entirely by hand, equipped with only a pencil, a compass, a ruler, and a protractor.

In the following interview, we delve into his motivations and reflections on geometric representation systems, examining their application in the fields of design and architecture.
