Mizan_Other Geometries | John Rajchman

• We perceive form from our everyday experience of geometry.
• With the advancement of computer technology Non-Euclidean geometries (double curved) are easily to be recognized.
• The idea of form and functions in Euclidean geometries are differ from the Non-Euclidean geometries.
• ‘Other geometries’ required a different way of thinking  that don’t fit the Euclidean model.
• In orthogonal form, points are fixed and the result is predetermined with a system, but in curvilinear form points are generated through diagram and it becomes less predictable and more plastic.
