Book Description

ISBN-10: 0697330583 | ISBN-13: 978-0697330581 | Publication Date: January 1, 1996 | Edition: 1

This book involves the third dimension. It brings to the emerging field of design science, a lively text filled with diagrams, drawings, and photos. Its use is as diverse as its content. Not only will teachers in the disciplines of Art, Math and Science find the information useful, but artists and designers can learn much for their work in three space. This volume begins with the manipulation of the pliable plane to create 3-d folded structures. It moves on to show how the eternal triangle is used to build stable forms. The familiar cube generates other families of rectangular solids. Also explored are the properties of the sphere and its connections to solids called polyhedra. The latter are explored in great detail.

This review is from: Space, Structure and Form (Paperback)

I came across this series of books in the Vancouver BC public library years ago and signed them out so often I felt I should seek out and buy them. I recently focused on getting through the books lessons to learn about sacred phi golden geometry to improving my art making practices. I had studied some of these concepts many years ago during Interior Design but did not know how to utilize these concepts totally into my art works today. I had recently completed the lessons with their book titled Universal Patterns and about to continue more lessons with this book Space Structure and Form and The Surface Plane. I have blogged [...] some of my insights and art works if you would enjoy reading further and viewing examples of some of the exercises.I am grateful that the authors took the time to make enjoyable learning about a topic that can be difficult to research in laymen language. The exercises are most enjoyable too.
