Peter Collingwood, for whom structure is a consuming interest, has selected over ninety objects from around the world, each of which he analyses in detail, revealing the inevitable beauty that can be achieved only by a marriage between appropriate materials and ideal structure. In many cases the structures have been evolved and perfected over centuries. All the objects, which range from Indian camel girths to the springs of a US army Jeep seat, from Japanese triaxial silk to Botswanan beer strainers, and from Masonic ribbons to a tuareg hat, have been specially photographed by David Cripps to complement the author's analytical diagrams. Together they provide a book of outstanding visual appeal. Few people have the knowledge and experience to understand and analyse so wide a range of structures, but Peter Collingwood does so triumphantly, offering a unique insight into the balance of material and structure that should be the basis of all design."Contents: Introduction; One Single Element (Interlacing; Simple Looping; Concentrated Looping; Interlocking); Two Single Elements (Linking); One Set of Elements (Linking; Oblique Interlacing); Two Single Elements (Weft Twining; Oblique Twining; Knotting); Two Sets of Elements; Miscellaneous; Glossary.
