Description
Leyton hat eine viel beachtete neue Theorie der geometrischen Form entwickelt. Er interpretiert sie - im Gegensatz zur Tradition - als Informations- und Gedächtnisträger. In dieser Darstellung zieht er daraus die spezifischen Konsequenzen für den Bereich der Architektur und des Bauens.
How do buildings store information and experience in their shape and form? Michael Leyton has attracted considerable attention with his interpretation of geometrical form as a medium for the storage of information and memory. In this publication he draws specific conclusions for the field of architecture and construction, attaching fundamental importance to the complex relationship between symmetry and asymmetry.
