Andreas Asperl Book order

The book contains more than 100 selected and tested geometric spatial ability training exercises, which train your spatial intelligence in a playful, well-balanced and structured way. You will improve your spatial ability by working with this book and its exercises, which were compiled according to scientific criteria. The tasks can be completed directly in the book. Because of the specific geometrical content of the book the exercises are an ideal supplement not only for mathematics and geometry lessons but also for all subjects dealing with space and spatial ability. In addition to the exercises you will find the solutions of all the tasks in the book allowing you to check the correctness of your answers by yourself. Immerse yourself in the fascinating world of geometry and spatial ability, train and improve - alone or in a group mostly in a playful way - your spatial intelligence and observe how you can solve spatial ability and geometric tasks more and more easily after every exercise.

Geometry lies at the core of the architectural design process. It is omnipresent, from the initial form-finding stages to the actual construction. Modern constructive geometry provides a variety of tools for the efficient design, analysis, and manufacture of complex shapes. This results in new challenges for architecture. However, the architectural application also poses new problems to geometry. Architectural geometry is therefore an entire research area, currently emerging at the border between applied geometry and architecture. This book has been written as a textbook for students of architecture or industrial design. It comprises material at all levels, from the basics of geometric modeling to the cutting edge of research. During the architectural journey through geometry, topics typically reserved for a mathematically well-trained audience are addressed in an easily understandable way. These include central concepts on freeform curves and surfaces, differential geometry, kinematic geometry, mesh processing, digital reconstruction, and optimization of shapes. This book is also intended as a geometry consultant for architects, construction engineers, and industrial designers and as a source of inspiration for scientists interested in applications of geometry processing in architecture and art.
