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 Buckminster Fuller. By means of full-page illustrations, diagrams and charts, he presents those mathematical facts and formulae, many of them not previously published, which bear on the definition and understanding of space. The material, which can be used in models and projects, is accompanied by an explanatory text and precise numerical values. This book offers a 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 linkages.
