Announcement
- Nigel Reading, Design Director of ASYNSIS was busy in Hong Kong last week!
The British Consulate-General launched the international GREAT Britain campaign with an exclusive event to showcase the UK’s design talent. Last Wednesday Nigel attended this event as the only British Architect + Designer in China producing high value, big-ticket projects for the GREAT Britain Campaign (as published in the SCMP below):

Asynsis principle-Constructal law
More for less, a new design and construction optimisation paradigm with global reach and universal local application to promote sustainable design and development.
In our work (as just presented to ARUP Foresight & Innovation in London yesterday, Friday May 3 2013), the Asynsis-Constructal Law team describe the thermodynamic behaviours in nature that reveal the golden ratio’s geometrical optimisation signatures (as for example, an archetypal fractal imbedded in the Mandelbrot set/Feigenbaum diagram with asymptotic convergence), in both space and time, an effective Complexity ToE.

Asynsis Principle-Constructal Law Seminar: Shanghai Saturday 15/09/12
Saturday, Jul 28, 2012 12:47AM / News
Shanghai – River South Art Centre – Suzhou Creek
Saturday 15 September at 3.45pm: Asynsis principle, the geometric signature of the new Constructal design law of nature and culture.
At the “Trans-Cultural Design in Practice” symposium at the River South Art Centre Shanghai.
It’s organised by the Nantes-Shanghai Design University Transcultural Design faculty where I am a Master’s supervisor in Space Design .
The theme will be Cosmomimetic design – how design in nature emerges and evolves, analogically, asymmetrically and optimally from entropy – the arrow of time. This has significant implications for both sustainable design and development.
The talk will also touch on the role of an icon of geometry, art, design and architectural theory, Leonardo’s golden ratio and how, through design – it bridges the two cultures of art and science.
The cultural complexity that the Asynsis principle-Constructal law frequently generates will be addressed with an example of a transcultural design project, the Hong Kong Spin, which I designed for that city as a celebration of the success of the
“one country-two systems” principle.

Analogia…via Asynsis

How complexity emerges from entropy, though optimal, recursive analogy…until we call it, beauty.

Golden Ratio – Universal Soundtrack

What the Golden Ratio sounds like. Pythagoras, discoverer of the western musical scale, the Golden Ratio and the music of the spheres which predicates String theory, would approve.
