The cover of the book, a fictional resort town for Tenerife, presents a fascinating case study of complex symmetry; no building is the same as another, but all share the same geometric properties. That would not be unusual had it not been an architectural manifesto.</p></div></div></div> Wed, 01 Oct 2008 02:29:40 +0000 Mathieu Helie 108 at http://localhost
