March 2022Compound Polyhedra - Modular Origami
by Fergus Currie
Origami experts know that understanding shape and geometry is vital. But building many beautiful complex shapes is not a simple matter. Mathematics at school or college rarely prepares us for such a practical task. What origami method could possibly build complex structures like compound polyhedra? Fergus Currie's book of geometric models of advanced modular origami has full instructions and diagrams on how to make elegant, beautiful and practical models. It also includes an introduction with sections on the mathematics behind the models; a short history of modular origami; a section on tools and folding techniques, and a gallery of the finished models that are presented in the book.

Geometry and Art
How Mathematics Transformed Art during the Renaissance
by David Wade
The book follows the search for perspective among artists through an exploration of geometry, which began in Florence during the renaissance. Influencing the work of artists such as Paulo Uccello, Piero della Francesco and Leonardo Da Vinci, it spread to Germany through the work of Dϋrer and others. It was there, in Germany, for a brief period in the mid-16th century, the fashion for polyhedral-based geometrical designs flourished as a distinct art form.
