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 […]
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.
The book has now been completed and will be published by Thames and Hudson Ltd in June 2016 (now Spring 2017). I’ve constantly updated the work awaiting publication and have included the latest technologies and future applications for the various types of geometry and visual logic featured in the book – particularly the shape changers […]
Have completed the new chapters – the Renaissance and the River Valleys (Euphrates, Tigris, Nile, Yellow, Indus). The new material took longer to create than I thought. Have been working through the illustrations and securing rights for photos when needed. After that the index will need to be completed…The final page count will be just […]
The publisher has asked for new chapters and I have been in the process of adding chapters that cover the geometries of the “river cultures,” – Indus Vally; The Nile; The Euphrates; The Yellow River. I have also broadened the Celtic chapter content to include a broader range of European tribal geometries – primitive as […]
I underestimated the number of pages – once the photo credits and links have been added the count will be in the order of 300 pages. The new working title is, “Think 3D” – “A design source book.” Recent drafts have been with Thames and Hudson and my hope is that they will publish the […]
Am now on page 214 after an edit. Have added a really simple convergence proof for the Fibonacci ratio converging on Phi – so simple that it could even be Pythagorean. Also added an exact and not a fudged analysis of DaVinci’s Vitruvian man with no relation to Phi, just Vitruvius. This is all in […]
