- Title
Geometry Working Beyond Effect.
- Authors
Burry, Mark
- Abstract
With the onset of fully fledged file-to-factory design techniques, why should architects want to restrict themselves to the prescribed limits of descriptive geometry? In this article Mark Burry looks at a specific set of geometries - doubly ruled surfaces - that have been most explicitly developed by 'structural artists' Antoni Gaudí, Vladimir Shukhov and Félix Candela. He asks whether the application of doubly ruled surfaces like these might help us to make a significant distinction between architecture and sculpture. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
