Des fresques de l’Antiquité romaine aux pavages de Durer et Kepler, des mosaïques de l’art arabo-persan aux pavages de Penrose, l’art décoratif est illuminé de motifs géométriques foisonnants. Soumis à des régularités lancinantes ou à des symétries kaléidoscopiques, ils forment un trait d’union privilégié entre l’art et les mathématiques. S’adressant aux enseignants et étudiants en mathématiques ou informatique comme aux amateurs d’art, Géométrie des pavages propose différentes clés permettant de mieux comprendre la beauté cachée des formes, mais également de devenir les artisans constructeurs des pavages sur ordinateur. Il détaille les trois types de conception géométrique (surface plane, sphérique ou géométrie non euclidienne hyperbolique) et les concepts théoriques qui les fondent. La compréhension des mécanismes internes de la fabrication des pavages permet ainsi d’accéder aux programmes de réalisation sur ordinateur, donnant accès à des visualisations instantanées et à un grand nombre de variations possibles.

This dual-language dictionary lists over 20,000 specialist terms in both French and English, covering architecture, building, engineering and property terms. It meets the needs of all building professionals working on projects overseas. It has been comprehensively researched and compiled to provide an invaluable reference source in an increasingly European marketplace.

In this long-awaited book, Timothy J. Lensmire examines the problems and promise of progressive literacy education. He does this by developing a series of striking metaphors in which, for example, he imagines the writing workshop as a carnival or popular festival and the teacher as a novelist who writes her student-characters into more and less desirable classroom stories. Grounded in Lensmire's own and others' work in schools, Powerful Writing, Responsible Teaching makes powerful use of Bakhtin's theories of language and writing and Dewey's vision of schooling and democracy. Lensmire's book is, at once, a defense, a criticism, and a reconstruction of progressive and critical literacy approaches.

This book reflects and expands on the current trend in the building industry to understand, simulate and ultimately design buildings by taking into consideration the interlinked elements and forces that act on them. Shifting away from the traditional focus, which was exclusively on building tasks, this approach presents new challenges in all areas of the industry, from material and structural to the urban scale. The book presents contributions including research papers and case studies, providing a comprehensive overview of the field as well as perspectives from related disciplines, such as computer science. The chapter authors were invited speakers at the 7th Symposium “Impact: Design With All Senses”, which took place at the University of the Arts in Berlin in September 2019.
