Appreciating the harmonious structure of any architecture is one thing; admiring the wilderness of nature is quite another. In terms of aesthetic values, the new mathematics of fractal geometry brought hard science in tune with the peculiarity of modern feeling for untamed, uncivilized, undomesticated nature. At one time rainforests, deserts, bush, and badlands represented all that society was striving to subdue. If people wanted aesthetic satisfaction from vegetation, they looked at gardens. As John Fowles put it, writing of eighth-century England: “The period had no sympathy with unregulated or primordial nature. It was aggressive wilderness, an ugly and all-invasive reminder of the Fall, of man’s eternal exile from the Garden of Eden. . . . Even is natural sciences. . . remained essentially hostile to wild nature, seeing it only as something to be tamed, classified, utilised, exploited.” By the end of the twentieth century, the culture had changed, and now science was changing with it. ~ Page 118
