Description

"The Seed" sculpture, installed at The Core, The Eden Project • Cornwall, England

Not an exact replication of the sculpture, as this depiction contains more "nodules" than the sculpture • The 3D model mathematically-approximates the geometric layout of the nodule positions, using Excel spreadsheet-calculated data, imported into SketchUp • The Fibonacci rotation angle, used in the spreadsheet, is the "Golden Angle," related to phi, the "Golden Ratio" • For geometric background information, research "Fibonacci spiral" and "phyllotaxis"

3D SketchUp model is posted online, at the Google/Trimble "3D Warehouse": The Seed - Eden Project
