On This Page

Description

Originally published in 1971 The Geometry of Environment is a fusion of art and mathematics introducing stimulating ideas from modern geometry, using illustrations from architecture and design. The revolution in the teaching of mathematics and the advent of the computer in design challenge traditional ways of appreciating the space about us, and expand the 'structural' understanding of our surroundings through such concepts as transformations, symmetry groups, sets and graphs. This book aims show more to show the relevance of 'new maths' and encourages exploration of the widening intellectual horizons of environmental design and architecture. show less
