4. Technical Presentation

Craig Kaplan	Title : Curve Evolution Schemes for Parquet Deformations Abstract: I consider the question of how to carry out aesthetically pleasing evolution of the curves that make up the edges in a parquet deformation. Within the framework of simple arrangements of square tiles, I explore curve evolution models based on grids, iterated function systems, and organic labyrinthine paths.
