The London Knowledge Lab is hosting a special lecture on 14 February
to celebrate the installation of our magnificent Zome model, the
"omnitruncated 120 cell", constructed from 21,360 parts of the
Zometool geometrical construction system. The model presents a shadow in
the three dimensional world of a geometrical shape defined in four
dimensions.
Our distinguished speaker, PAUL HILDEBRANDT, is co-developer of the Zome
system and founder of the Zometool company in Colorado, USA
[www.zometool.com
]. His lecture will be titled, "Zome: from live-in sculpture to a
language for understanding the structure of space." He will describe
how the roots of the Zome system draw on the inspiration of art,
architecture and mathematics, and touch on the deep structure of nature
and numbers.
The lecture will commence at 5.30pm. Tea will be served from
5.00pm. There will be a reception after the lecture, starting at
7.00pm.
Admission to the lecture is free and open to all, but reservation is
compulsory: Please contact Phillip Kent, [log in to unmask], 020 7763
2156. Please indicate, for planning of catering, if you are able to
attend the reception.
We are also holding two Zometool workshops as follows:
15 February: 2pm - 5.30pm, Introductory Zometool Workshop, a
hands-on introduction for anyone interested in the application of
Zometool to mathematics, science, architecture, art, etc.
16 February: 11am - 4pm, Zometool for Mathematics Education
Workshop, intended for teachers, parents and educators interested
specifically in the use of Zometool in school mathematics.
If you are interested to participate in one of the workshops, please
contact Phillip Kent. Capacity is limited.
