Projective Ornament
About this book
Ā Claude Bragdon's Projective Ornament is a groundbreaking work at the intersection of architecture, geometry, and metaphysics. Bragdon, an architect and theosophist, introduces the idea that ornamentation should reflect the underlying structure of the universe ā especially its mathematical harmony. Using projections of four-dimensional geometry, he argues for a new design language that bridges science, spirit, and art. Lavishly illustrated and intellectually ambitious, the book is both a manifesto and an artistic experiment, promoting beauty that emerges from inner order. For readers interested in sacred geometry, modernist design, or the mystical dimensions of form, Projective Ornament is a visionary classic.Ā
