3D Thinking in Design and Architecture

3D Thinking in Design and Architecture

Roger Burrows, 2005

Overview

The geometric principles underlying contemporary architecture, design, and decorative arts have roots in historical cultures. From early human markings to sophisticated measurement systems, the three-dimensional forms we create are shaped by available materials, human needs, and imaginative limits. This book chronicles the historical connection between geometry, mathematics, and human-made design, spanning from the Neolithic era through various ancient civilizations and up to the present and future possibilities. It presents fundamental concepts applicable across design fields, illustrating how geometry has evolved as a visual language, driven new technologies, and influenced our perception of the world.
