Tessellations in Islamic Calligraphy
The authors provide a brief history of the art of calligraphy in Muslim cultures, highlighting examples of tessellations of words. The underlying principles for designing a word tessellation inscribed in a hexagon are discussed, and a test for determining which words can be tessellated is provided. The authors demonstrate their attempts at tessellating the word “Ali.”
Response to David R. Topper
On Behaviorism, Causality and Cybernetics
A feedback model is presented to account for sigmoidal growth. Such a model, while making moot the question of cause and effect, may account for correlations in art-historical phenomena. Sigmoidal growth is characterized by initial slow growth, followed by rapid growth and eventually limited by saturation. Both behaviorism and cybernetics are based on a feedback model; thus, it is proposed here that the perception of historical ‘movements’, ‘peri…
Symmetry of Structure
Cooperation with other institutions is particularly important in the area of project work; for example, in developing new forms of programmes or in designing entertainment programmes for television, the academy has to work together with broadcast companies. In this respect, Cologne is a favourable location. Advantage will also be taken of laboratories and studios, as well as relevant course offerings, at other universities-for example, the Univer…

Linda Henderson’s book deals with the interaction between mathematics and art during the first quarter of the twentieth century. Her premise that mathematical theory was transformed into works of art in an orderly and traceable manner is here called into question, but her treatise provides valuable information regarding the contacts and influences that major artists were experiencing

"Comments on David L. Drabkin's Book "Fundamental Structure
David L. Drabkin's book [1] is a labor of love. It is dedicated to his late wife Stella Drabkin, an artist. He was the first to crystallize human hemoglobin. The bulk of his book consists of 51 beautiful photographic prints, six in color, of hemoglobin crystals from various sources, photographed under various conditions, in various magnifications and polarizations, some in positive, others in negative prints. The architect Norman N. Rice provides…

Structure and Patterns in Science and Art
The author points out that art is concerned with the ordering of space; whatever the nature of the order or disorder may be, a work of art is the result of decisions on the part of the artist regarding the juxtaposition of entities, be they colored points or artifacts previously designed for a different purpose, as in collages. The structure of a pattern expresses the relations between the elements of a pattern, which the author demonstrates. The…
