About this ebook
I start this eBook with modern Māori-inspired New Zealand (NZ) buildings. It showcases the innovative embedment of traditional Māori shapes, forms, patterns and colours in contemporary design in NZ. I then move on to explore the possibilities for modernism in Māori architecture. Lastly, I explore extravagant shapes like ellipses, parabolas, and hyperbolas using AI (PlaygroundAI.com). I also examine online software like SketchUp and the intricate design possibilities using hyperboles. For example, the flowing design ideas of the late Zaha Hadid. Don't miss the exciting resource I have created, 'Architect Antonio Gaudi Transforms Paradigms.' The eBook explores the beautiful curvilinear (parabolas, hyperbolas, ellipses, and more) design possibilities in architecture and product design.
Let's begin; here are some modern Māori-inspired designs in NZ.
Author
William Van Zyl
The author had an interesting and unique childhood. Not travelling abroad - as you would expect - but venturing into the fields, bushes, tools sheds and mysterious underground tunnels around his neighbourhood. His happy place was - and still is - tinkering with ideas, science, and new possibilities. Many times while cycling he will get new ideas; he brings the unexpected, the unique, the creative in a flurry on a page or in a sketch. To this day he dreams of vicious wars and sophisticated weaponry in an innocent child's scout cave. He loves diagrams, timelines, cross sections, sketches, and details of sinister and hidden concepts and ideas; always looking for a new mystery to decode and to encode. He investigates and explores extravagant thoughts which he includes in children's books, stories and articles; he loves to include philosopher’s perspectives, articles, intriguing stories, and poetry in his writing. Academic and research work are also his forte. He always offers a simple but practical explanation within an engaging context. Not your ordinary thinker! A lifelong scholar and teacher.
