Practical applications of dynamic symmetry
Practical applications of dynamic symmetry is a 1920 design manual by Jay Hambidge, published by Yale University Press in New Haven, aimed at artists and designers. Its pictures are line drawings of vases, bowls and a cup overlaid with construction lines, rectangles and diagonals, showing how proportional grids were laid over ancient ceramic forms; a designer might borrow the geometric overlay method for structuring a layout or silhouette.
