Interesting, lack of symmetry in the construction of the ancient walls helps to dissipate shock. Makes sense when you stop and think about it I guess, but also shows how programmed we are to think “inside a box”. Straight lines, corners, and boxes are what we know, so we often fail to see the possibility of better ways to do a thing.
Always good to try to keep an open mind and try to be mindful of our potential hubris.
🔸It took me years to realize that Inca and pre-Columbian architecture is directly related to the structure of the corn kernels. In a western model of thought, one might judge the shapes as irregular, but in a universal thought, everything is a correlation between the cosmos, science, art and humanity." (Fractal Nature)
As you can see, the organic growth forms are represented in a logarithmic way, and the fact that these pentagonal, hexagonal and heptagonal blocks coincide with the corn forms.

The lack of symmetry in the walls helps dissipate the energy of the earthquakes. They were incredible engineers. Japanese researchers studied Machu Picchu after the Kobe earthquake and realised that these Inca structures had not been damaged by an earthquake.
