![]() Elam analyzes 25 designs that give designers and architects a clearer understanding of how to employ systems of proportion in their work. Through detailed diagrams these geometric systems are brought to life giving an effective insight into the design process. This slim book presents examples of graphic art and design followed by analytical renderings and overlays to reveal their underlying geometric structure. The book focuses not only on the classic systems of proportioning, such as the golden section and root rectangles, but also on less well known proportioning systems such as the Fibonacci Series. Explanations and techniques of visual analysis make the inherent mathematical relationships evident and a must-have for anyone involved in art, design, or architecture graphic arts. Harvard University Graduate School of Design 2023 President and Fellows of Harvard. ![]() Geometry of Design takes a close look at a broad range of twentieth-century examples of design, architecture, and illustration (from the Barcelona chair to the paintings of Georges Seurat, from the Braun hand blender to the Conico kettle), revealing underlying geometric structures in their compositions. Kimberly Dowdell Speaks to GSD Graduates at Class Day 2023. Kimberly Elam takes the reader on a geometrical journey, lending insight and coherence to the design process by exploring the visual relationships that have foundations in mathematics as well as the essential qualities of life. ![]() ![]() At last, a mathematical explanation of how art works presented in a manner we can all understand. ![]()
