Description

""George Stiny is the paterfamilias of grammars for shapes, embracing all of their inherent ambiguity. This book beautifully explains why shapes are so ambiguous and why their lack of structure is so crucial for design. Stiny shows that grammatical rules for shapes can produce an infinite complexity of designs, just as grammatical rules can produce the expressive richness of prose or poetry. Robert Pirsig's *Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance* provides an introduction to the damaging effects of structure and analysis in design; for readers wishing to embrace ambiguity, and build on its expressive power, *Shape* supplies the essential deeper insights.""--Erik K. Antonsson, Professor of Mechanical Engineering, California Institute of Technology
