home and his clothes with paints and dyes, building better
structures, and using fire and tools effectively. The great
Chinese, Greek and Roman civilisations all added to the new use of
materials, and sculpture and architecture went hand in hand with
intellectual and philosophical development. Plato, Euclid,
Socrates, Galileo, Leonardo da Vinci, and many others brought
society through to the modern age and the start of the Industrial
Revolution. More recently another revolution in technology has
brought robotics and miniaturisation of components, thus bringing
industry more automation and less need for man-operated machinery.
During this time engineers have continued to study nature as a
model for construction and development. An example is Louis
Sullivan with his tension and compression structures based on the
Morning Glory flower. Now, the new technique of continuous glass
fibre structures, developed by Dr Math (Mathweb) of British
Petroleum, go a long way towards helping man to emulate the spider.
Developments in rotational moulding, ceramics, glass, controlled
crystallisation of metals and many other areas have all introduced
new shape possibilities, so now the engineer is more often than not
required to be the arbiter of shape and form, rather than being
overtly constrained by necessity. It has, however, become possible
to distinguish three distinct elements in the design of form which
can act as guidelines for the designer, and it is worth studying
these in detail.
