This brilliant fusion of art and mathematics introduces some stimulating ideas from modern geometry with illustrations taken 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 to help the older reader to see the relevance of the 'new maths' and to encourage sixth-formers and students to explore the widening intellectual horizons of environmental design and architecture. It should also prove of value in courses of general studies and of liberal arts, and in colleges of art, in two and three-dimensional design. To these ends the book contains a helpful and extensive guide to a wide range of further reading.. Book Condition: Good. Binding: Hardcover. Jacket: Poor
