Shapes of the Arboritum, Psychogeometrics

My idea for the Aboritum project is to discuss the shapes of the arboritum. I have a vague understanding of pyscho-geometrics, which classifies the four different personality types into shapes:
Squares - Organized
Circles - Close emotional ties
Triangles - Leaders, efficiency
Squiggles - The free thinkers, the odd ones

I would like to look at not only the structural designs of the Arboritum but also the predominant natural shapes in the arboritum, leaves, trees, bushes, etc. I would like to compare the predominant shapes of the Arboritum, to the shapes of the rest of campus the "industrialized" sections if you will. My hypothesis is that the predominant shapes of both areas will be useful, balance is key.

hiplerrr, nice idea man.... you really like these deeper associations dont you? First it was the colors and what emotions they bring, and now its shapes! I definitely think there are some great examples of this in the arboretum and would make for an interesting film.... especially since there is a nature and human interaction.

psychogeometrics just sounds amazing. and I bet the shapes of the 'industrialized' sections of campus directly correspond to the students to spend time / study / learn there... just a thought
