Richard Hassell is an architect and artist whose artistic philosophy is deeply rooted in the intersection of nature, geometry, and the human connection to the environment. His works explore the fusion of natural forms and mathematical structures, particularly inspired by architecture and M.C. Escher’s explorations of tessellations and symmetry. Hassell emphasizes interactivity and environmental sustainability in his designs, seeking to create spaces and artworks that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also ecologically functional. His approach to design often prompted viewers to reconsider their relationship with the natural world through the lens of art and geometry.
