This book offers fresh and imaginative insight into the area where mathematics and the arts meet. It can also be used as a practical tool by the architect, designer or scientist who has to deal with such problems as space defining, distribution patterns, space-filling properties, packing and stacking, economy grids and communication. The author provides a systematic analysis of those space-defining geometries that are relevant to solving design problems and understanding the ordered division of space. He develops this thesis from the point of view of the `experimental mathematician' - a term coined to describe one aspect of the work of the designer Buckminster Fuller.
