Space Tessellations: Experimenting with Parquet Deformations
W039502 | $48.99 / 10% library disc.
Werner Van Hoeydonck, Christian Kern, Eva Sommeregger. Birkhauser Verlag fur Architektur, Basel, 2022.
304 pp. Well Illustrated (all B&W). 27 x 21 cm. In English. Paperbound.
ISBN 9783035625172
Tackling a topic that has particular appeal in the age of digital design, this well-founded introduction to the subject of parquet deformation fills a gap. These subtle, intricate geometric transformations, best known through the "Metamorphosis" series by M. C. Escher, were introduced to design curricula by American professor William S. Huff in the 1960s. The book brings together scholarly articles by the most important authors in the field and material collected in the archives of the Ulm School of Design in Germany, juxtaposed with extensive illustrations of two- and three-dimensional works created at the Vienna University of Technology.
