Sausalito 2007 Lecture
In this lecture, Frank Chester presents his geometric discoveries to an audience in Sausalito, CA in 2007. Included topics: the seven sided form with equal areas, the Chestahedron, how it relates to the Earth, the heart, and more.
RISD Public Lecture
Frank was personally invited to present his geometric discoveries at the nation's premier school of art and design, the Rhode Island School of Design. The presentation was made possible courtesy of RISD's departments of Graphic Design, Freshman Foundation, and Furniture.
Building a New Mystery Center
The following is a special presentation by Frank Chester, Bringing Balance to the Heart with Lawful Thinking, that took place at the Santa Cruz Waldorf School on January 13th, 2012. In it he shows the principles behind the creation of a new Mystery Center for America, based on the geometry of the heart.
Dynamic Balance in the Heart
Frank Chester’s Michaelmas Talk given on September 29, 2011 at the Threefold Auditorium in Spring Valley, New York. This lecture covers Frank’s insights, based on his research into the new geometry of the heart, into what it means to “defeat the dragon” in our own day and age.
The Heart’s Art
The conference took place at the San Francisco Waldorf High School on July 8-10, 2011, and was a great success. See more information about the conference itself below the photos.
Unique underwater oil spill containment design
Frank has utilized the unique geometry of the chestahedron (a volume made of 7 faces of equal area, the red shape above) to design a cap for underwater oil leaks, such as the recent spill off the coast of Louisiana.
Relationship between a 5-cycle and a 7-cycle
This animation, built entirely on the basis of the geometry of the Chestahedron, demonstrates the relationship between a 5-unit cycle (yellow star) and a 7-unit cycle (blue star).
Meditative Visualization on 5 and 7
The chestahedron establishes a unique relationship between the numbers 5 and 7. This is embodied in the five prints that Frank has made which explore this theme via two interpenetrating circles.
Beyond Polarities Conference Video
This two hour video shows Frank presenting his work at the Beyond Polarities Youth Conference in 2006. He covers in condensed form the whole range of his work, including the seven-sided form, the heart, the earth, alchemy, architecture, art, and more.
