Description
The aim of this book is to demonstrate the relationships between geometric forms and concepts and everyday shapes, forms and patterns. The author draws upon the work of noted designers and mathematicians such as Pythagoras, Escher, Penrose, Mandlebrot and Buckminster Fuller to show the connections between forms in nature, their basic mathematical concepts, and notions of what is beautiful and commodious.
