title: Borobudur was Built Algorithmically creator: Situngkir, Hokky subject: Sociobiology subject: Cognitive Psychology subject: Cognitive Archeology subject: Complexity Theory subject: Dynamical Systems subject: Philosophy of Mind subject: Social Psychology description: The self-similarity of Indonesian Borobudur Temple is observed through the dimensionality of stupa that is hypothetically closely related to whole architectural body. Fractal dimension is calculated by using the cube counting method and found that the dimension is 2.325, which is laid between the two-dimensional plane and three dimensional space. The applied fractal geometry and self-similarity of the building is emerged as the building process implement the metric rules, since there is no universal metric standard known in ancient traditional Javanese culture thus the architecture is not based on final master plan. The paper also proposes how the hypothetical algorithmic architecture might be applied computationally in order to see some experimental generations of similar building. The paper ends with some conjectures for further challenge and insights related to fractal geometry in Javanese traditional cultural heritages. date: 2010-09-05 type: Departmental Technical Report type: PeerReviewed format: application/pdf identifier: http://cogprints.org/7019/1/2010h.pdf identifier: Situngkir, Hokky (2010) Borobudur was Built Algorithmically.
