New types of geometry for innovation in 2D and 3D
This is what Thames & Hudson Ltd (London), my publisher, are saying about my latest book, “3D Thinking” (to be published Spring 2018): The foundations, forms and patterns in architecture, design and decorative arts throughout the world have been deeply influenced by the geometries of past cultures. From the first path-like doodles on cave walls […]
The math edit has been completed – and so has the index. The cover seems to be on the right track but am waiting for the next visual. I think there might be one last round to make sure that all the editorial and design changes have been made correctly. So fingers crossed that the […]
The deadline for the final edit is August 15th – this includes the math edit which is almost complete. The last remaining task is to complete the Index. I had no idea that the editorial phase would take up so much time. We were a little held up last year due to an earthquake in […]
Have updated the Shape Changing Polyhedra page with movie clips and animations that introduce this new family of design and architectural structures.
Have updated the “Dynamic Sphere Geometry” page. Applications are architectural, design, new materials. Revised page has updated animations showing how close packing sphere arrangements (of different sized spheres) are generated, examples of sequences and an example of an architectural lattice generated by the geometry.
Just returned from the Bridges Conference held this year at the University of Jyvaskyla, Finland. Met some great people, mathematicians, architects, designers… Presented “Shape Changing Polyhedra,” from my latest book “3D Thinking” to be published by Thames and Hudson Ltd Spring 2017. My presentation included stop frame animations and movie clips of shape-changing polyhedra full-shell […]
Just appeared on KPCW; this morning in fact. Questions raised have made me think a bit more broadly about October’s, “Geomorph – Everything Changes When Mathematics Meets Art,” exhibition at the Leonardo in Salt Lake City. I made a comment on-air that, when we teach mathematics and science, we should go back to the point […]
My latest book, “3D Thinking,” to be published by Thames and Hudson Spring 2017 forms the basis for a new exhibition and lecture series, see below. Lectures feature photos, illustrations, movie clips, animations. Please see my pages, “Presentations” and “Workshops” for descriptions. Presentations include: The Golden Ratio – A Divine Proportion? Presented at the Leonardo Science and […]
For many years I’ve wondered where the original structure was that inspired the development of Altair designs. Daud Sutton, a specialist in Islamic Design, sent me an email from Cairo just a few days ago. He has found found the original structure – a latticed window – that has inspired so many of us – all that […]
Thames and Hudson will be the publisher! They will reformat the book and add their design and editorial magic. I cannot think of a better publisher! See my earlier posts re “Think 3D” and parts of my website to get an idea of the content. Will post more at a later date.
