520 8 ^aThe geometric foundations, forms, and patterns in today^'sarchitecture, design and, decorative arts can trace theirorigins in past cultures. From humankind^'s first path-likedoodles on cave walls through to the higher abstractionsdeveloped to make accurate measurements and predictions,the three-dimensional forms we design and build havealways been dependent on available materials, human needs,and the limits of our imaginations. ^'3D Thinking in Designand Architecture^' tells the story of the intimaterelationship between geometry, mathematics and man-madedesign throughout human history, from the Neolithic periodthrough the Indian, Egyptian, Babylonian, Chinese, Greek,Celtic, Islamic and Renaissance cultures, to the presentand the possible future. Presenting key principles thatcan be applied across all design disciplines, designexpert Roger Burrows relates how geometry as a visuallanguage has evolved to meet our needs, initiated newtechnologies, and changed the way we think about the worldaround us. With a wealth of original artwork by the authorto explain his ideas, this book will be an essentialreference and source of inspiration for students anddesign professionals.
