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. 650 0 $a Design $x Methodology. 650 0 $a Design $x Philosophy. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20200603014346.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F29024E26B5411E69AFE1DDBDAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
