"Surfaces: Explorations with Sliceforms" by John Sharp delves into the world of geometric forms and their complex interplay with space and light. The book showcases sliceforms, which are three-dimensional structures created from two-dimensional materials. Through a series of captivating explorations, Sharp reveals how these forms can inspire creativity in architecture, design, and art. With detailed illustrations and practical insights, readers are encouraged to experiment with these shapes, ultimately bridging the gap between theory and tangible creation. This work serves as both an educational resource and a celebration of the beauty found in mathematical and artistic intersections. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].
