Offering imaginative insight into the area where mathematics and the arts meet, this classic book can be used as a practical tool by architects, designers, or scientists who have to deal with problems such as space defining, distribution patterns, space-filling properties, packing and stacking, economy grids, and communication linkages. The author provides a systematic analysis of the space-defining geometries that are relevant to solving design problems. Through clear, imaginative drawings, diagrams, and charts, he presents the mathematical facts and formulas that bear on the definition and understanding of space.
