This book provides a critical examination of structure and form in design; covering a range of topics of great value to students and practitioners engaged in any of the specialist decorative arts and design disciplines. The complexities of two-dimensional phenomena are explained and illustrated in detail; while various three-dimensional forms are also discussed.In the context of the decorative arts and design; structure is the underlying framework; and form the resultant; visible; two- or three-dimensional outcome of the creative process. Whether hidden or visually detectable in the final design; structure invariably determines whether or not a design is successful in terms of both its aesthetics and its practical performance. Hann successfully identifies various geometric concepts; and presents and discusses a number of simple guidelines to assist the creative endeavours of both accomplished and student practitioners; teachers and researchers.
