The two wooden supports for the transparent table top, were made by Vincent Edwards, milled out of a piece of wood constituted by many layers of plywood glued together. The balustrade of the Terrace was designed and lasercut by Edmund Harriss. The two little mats were cross-stitched by Kathy Peterson and Ingrid Daubechies, after aContinue reading “Terrace – Fabrication”

Frieze Tables – Fabrication
Tables Themselves The tabletop shapes were designed by Dominique Ehrmann, and realized by Gavin Smith and Alfred Kennet. The small tables around the platform at the first venue where they were part of the installation (with Stéphan LaCourse standing behind them). Dominique and Stéphan designed the structures supporting the small tables. Although the legs andContinue reading “Frieze Tables – Fabrication”
Frieze Tables – Mathematical Connections
Frieze Groups Elements of the Downtown (the Bakery, Conway’s Curios and the Terrace) illustrate the wallpaper groups, the seventeen different symmetry types for a pattern that repeats in two or more directions in the plane. For a pattern that repeats in only one direction, the seven different symmetry types constitute the frieze groups. John H.Continue reading “Frieze Tables – Mathematical Connections”
Frieze Tables – Through the Mathemalchemy Looking Glass
The strangest thing happened a few months ago. It started with a really weird storm, one night, with an awful lot of rumbling. The next morning the sky was clear, but very new rock formations had materialized overnight, all around Voronoi Plaza in Downtown, even in front of the Lighthouse. When I went out toContinue reading “Frieze Tables – Through the Mathemalchemy Looking Glass”
