Description
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. Wie koennen Gebaeudeformen Erfahrungen und Inhalte speichern? Leyton hat eine viel beachtete neue Theorie der geometrischen Form entwickelt. Er interpretiert die geometrische Form - im Gegensatz zur gesamten Tradition - als Informations- und Gedaechtnistraeger. In vorliegender Darstellung zieht er die spezifischen Konsequenzen davon fuer den Bereich der Architektur und des Bauens.
