Excerpt from Original Geometrical Diaper Designs: Accompanied by an Attempt to Develope and Elucidate the True Principles of Ornamental Design, as Applied to the Decorative Arts
Ornamental design may be classed according to its mode of application, and its style may be varied agreeably to the principles about to be explained. But to arrange styles of ornament according to their origin in other nations and in other ages, and set them up as models, as has almost universally been the practice of those who have written upon the subject, is, to say the least of it, a tacit admission of the inferiority of the conceptive powers of the mind, in regard to ornamental art, in this country at the present period.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book challenges the status quo of design principles. The author argues that most ornamental design, particularly in architecture, is beholden to the past. They posit that there are universal principles of harmony between form and color as there are for musical notes. They lay out a series of âharmonic ratiosâ that they argue underlie all beautiful things. The book is richly illustrated with geometric diagrams that make the concepts easy to understand and implement. By understanding these principles, designers can create new and original works of art that are both pleasing to the eye and intellectually stimulating. The author believes their approach is the key to breaking free from the dead hand of the past and creating a new, more beautiful future.
