Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book analyses the evolution of spheroids in artistic and scientific contexts, looking at their centrality to geometry, ceramics, and architecture. A thorough look into the history of spheroids in mathematics, including detailed diagrams, provides the mathematical foundation for the book's subsequent sweep through earthenware spheroids and ceramics, with their close ties to human history. The author offers a comprehensive historical narrative, starting with Neolithic pottery, through Greek, Roman, Islamic, and Asian ceramics, up to the present, analysing the techniques, glazes, and firing methods used in their production. The book goes on to highlight how spheroids became fundamental elements of architecture, featuring in domes and vaults, from Hagia Sophia to the Sydney Opera House, and examining the engineering principles that govern their construction. The book concludes by exploring spheroids in modern and contemporary art, showcasing their distinctive forms in sculpture, installations, and paintings.
