Did you know that any straight-line drawing on paper can be folded so that the complete drawing can be cut out with one straight scissors cut? That there is a planar linkage that can trace out any algebraic curve, or even 'sign your name'? Or that a 'Latin cross' unfolding of a cube can be refolded to 23 different convex polyhedra? Over the past decade, there has been a surge o...(展开全部)

Explore geometry and tilings through the art of origami! The simple beauty of repeating geometric patterns - used in art and architecture for centuries - is introduced to the world of folding paper in this first book of its kind to be published. This book provides the fundamentals of origami tessellations - including techniques unique to tessellation folding - as well as step-b...(展开全部)

Create a swarm of cleverly designed paper insects. Noted origamist presents step-by-step instructions and diagrams for 20 challenging projects: treehopper, spotted ladybug, orb weaver, tarantula, tick, butterfly, grasshopper, dragonfly, praying mantis, scorpion and more. Helpful sections on symbols and terms and general folding directions. Intermediate to advanced level.

This intriguing mixture of art and geometry will excite both your creativity and your curiosity. Out from under your fingers will come strikingly exquisite forms: wish on your own handmade shooting star, all silvery, golden, or fiery red; "grow" pretty pink paper cherry blossoms (symbol of Japan, home of origami), and build pyramids, cubic modules, and other dimensional figures...(展开全部)

This seminal book from Architectural Design was originally published in 1993, at a time of crucial change and on the eve of the digital revolution. It brought together a series of essays that many believe created the favourable environment in which computer-based design could thrive. Considered one of the most influential architecture publications of the 1990s, this book ranks ...(展开全部)

The aim of this graduate-level text is to equip the reader with the basic tools and techniques needed for research in various areas of geometric analysis. Throughout, the main theme is to present the interaction of partial differential equations and differential geometry. More specifically, emphasis is placed on how the behavior of the solutions of a PDE is affected by the geom...(展开全部)

This classic text, written by one of the foremost mathematicians of the 20th century, is now available in a low-priced paperback edition. Exposition is centered on the foundations of affine geometry, the geometry of quadratic forms, and the structure of the general linear group. Context is broadened by the inclusion of projective and symplectic geometry and the structure of sym...(展开全部)
