SO-SCH-2009-9780764333798 Geometric Ornament in Architecture, Art, and Design by Thomas and Claudia Weil ISBN:9780764333798 Book Title:Geometric Ornament in Architecture, Art, and Design Author:Thomas and Claudia Weil Binding:Hard Cover Copyright:2009 Pages:144 Size:8.5 x 11 in. Ornament, as practiced by architects, artists, and designers for a hundred years, presents itself as a system of order and grid, and not merely as adornment. Long before the recently occurring renaissance of the ornament, the Studio of Claudia and Thomas Weil developed 1,000 contemporary ornaments in 14 groups including numerous variations with intriguing names like "the extended octopus," "angle-square-triangle," "Chessband," Shark's landing," and "Africa, half past two." Each offers fresh, exciting new varieties of geometric ornament that can be developed from a common grid. With the addition of color these patterns take on almost limitless possibilities. These are introduced here, together with applications in architecture, art and design, as well as an overview of the history of the modern ornament. 670 designs & 55 color photos (SO Schiffer Categorical generated 2024-11-11) 7e06a84b74e4f82396dd2f838c959653
