Morphing

Spheres, cylinders, and cubes are a small handful of platonic shapes that can be defined by a single word. They belong to an alternative plastic world defined by trigonometry: a mathematical world where all shapes can be described under one systematic language and where any shape can transform into another. However, most shapes cannot be found in a dictionary.

It is intended for architects, designers, and anyone with the curiosity to understand the link between shapes and the algebras behind them. This visually striking guide book clearly and systematically lays out the basic foundation for using these mathematical transformations as design tools.
