In this groundbreaking work, French and Ives introduce the concept of stereotomy - the art of cutting and shaping solids in three dimensions. Drawing on principles of mathematics, geometry, and physics, the authors present a comprehensive theory of stereotomy and offer practical applications for architects, engineers, and artisans. Stereotomy has had a lasting impact on the fields of mathematics and spatial design, and French and Ives's work remains a classic in the field.
