6 Sources on Geometry & Design.

3 Sources on Geometry.

1. Book - Projective & Euclidean Geometry, 2nd edition, William Thompson Fishback, 1968.
The book contains material suitable for projective geometry and the elementary foundation of geometry and addresses the modern abstract mathematics & elementary synthetic and analytic euclidean geometry.
Introduction of projective plane is accomplished by addiction of ideal elements to the euclidean plane rather than through an axoim.
The goal of the book is to indicate the type of synthetic treatment to repair needed to repair euclidean geometry in Hilbert's axoim followed by a sufficient development of projective geometry to enable the reader to appreciate axiomatic development of geometry at the projective level and to see how such a development creates order out of projective, euclidean, non-euclidean and other related geometry.



2.Book - Geometry & Computing 3- Subdivision Surfaces, Jorg Peters - Ulrich Reif, 2008.
The book shows that subdivision surfaces can be viewed from 3 different vantage points, a designer may focus on the increasingly smooth shape of refine polyhedra. The programmer sees the local operator applied to a graph data structure. The book has views on subdivisions as spline surfaces with singularity ad it will focus on these singularities to reveal the analytic nature of sub division surfaces. To be able to clarify the necessary constraints on subdivision algorithms to generate smooth surfaces.

3. Book - Geometry of Time, Dierck Ekkehard Liebscher, 2005.
The book is about geometry & physics, it tries a new approach to the interplay of the foundation of both through plane and perspective figures. It tries to mimic the path from the elementary experiences to the deeper one and not only provide the current understanding but also some of the intermediate stuff. It concentrates not just the boundary between geometry and mechanics but also the border regions that is usually neglected in discourse on either fields, this helps the reader to recognize the understanding about the other side and how much each ones depend on each other.

3 Sources on Design.

1.E-Journal ( Wiley Online Library)
Architectural Design: Special Issue: Typological Urbanism: Projective Cities. January/February 2011
Volume 81, Issue 1.
Edited by Christopher CM Lee, Sam Jacoby.
Published online - 25th January 2011.

The journal outlines a possible position and approaches that enable the conjectural impulses of architectural production to recover its relevance to the city. The journal discusses how to re-empower the architect int he context of urban architectural production that requires 3 essential predicaments.
- Relentless speed and colossal scale of urbanization.
- The form of urbanization in emerging cities in developing countries.
- The architecture of new urbanization fueled by market economy, is predominately driven by regime of difference in search of novelty.

2. Book - Claesson Koivisto Rune Design.
Text by Mark Isitt, Photography by Johan Fowelin.

This book looks into the design of furniture and fittings rather than architecture, this book is mostly illistrations but towards the end of the book there is a explained design on wire frames where they took a ceramic plate and bowl and put it into a CAD to break it down to its wire frame and then created a 2d drawing of that model. This allowed them to see the simple lines with their intersecting points which represents defined places in the XYZ space. They then changed the design of the bowl and plate to match the required food type pleasing both the eye and the feel, they were able to reverse the process so that all smooth rounded sides are faceted.

3.Magazine - Harvard Design Magazine.
2010 volume : 2009 issue : 32 Spring/Summer.

The magazine had a article on a current project of Zaha Hadid located in the united kingdom that caught my attention due to its complex geometry and the structural framing that was similar to my web concept. The magazine itself has many different view points on conceptual design in architecture from different architects from around the world. I thought this was a good source because it has all of the recent building designs from 2010 where architects could explore more into conceptual design.
