Diese außergewöhnliche Buch liefert eine detaillierte mathematisch-künstlerische Analyse eines unserer Lieblingsnahrungsmittel und öffnet die Augen für die Komplexität eines einfachen Vergnügens. Für jeden Pastafan mit einem Faible für Zahlen und Gleichungen und einem Blick für das Schöne ein Muss.
Es gibt kaum einen Menschen, der Nudeln nicht mag, aber trotz ungezählter Pasta-Kochbücher hat niemand dieses allseits vertraute Lebensmittel je so präsentiert gesehen wie in diesem Werk. Ausgehend von einem kreativen Konzept eines Teams von Designern, offenbart das Buch die versteckte mathematische Schönheit, die Köche in aller Welt seit der Zeit von Marco Polo schlicht für gegeben erachtet haben. Die wunderbaren, teilweise skurrilen geometrischen Formen und Oberflächen der verschiedenen Nudelsorten sind geschaffen worden, um bestimmten Ansprüchen an das Zusammenwirken mit Soßen und anderen Nahrungselementen zu genügen, um zugleich schön und funktional zu sein.
Jede der über 90 hier vorgestellten Pastasorten ist eigens fotografisch porträtiert, in mathematischen Formeln repräsentiert, die exakt ihre Form beschreiben, und in Grafiken reproduziert, die das Geniale hinter diesem Alltagsnahrungsmittel enthüllen. Kurze Texte beschreiben die Besonderheiten jeder Nudelsorte und liefern praktische Hinweise auf ihren Einsatz in der Küche. 90 ganzseitige Farbbilder und 200 Schwarz-Weiß-Illustrationen machen das Buch auch zu einem visuellen Erlebnis.
George L. Legendre ist Designer, Essayist und Chef des Londoner Architekturunternehmens IJP, das die Schnittmenge zwischen geometrischem Raum, Mathematik und Rechentechnik auslotet. Das Büro hat die Henderson Waves gebaut, eine 300 Meter lange Brücke in Singapur, deren Design eine einzige mathematische Gleichung zugrunde liegt, und war mit seinem Pavillon in der engeren Auswahl des MoMa PS1 Young Architects Program für das Jahr 2011. Legendre lehrte an der London Architectural Association, der Princeton University und der Harvard Graduate School of Design. Er verfasste IJP: The Book of Surfaces und Bodyline: The End of our Meta-Mechanical Body. Legendre arbeitet in London.
Nach dem Architekturstudium an der IAUV in Venedig begann Stefano Graziani zu fotografieren. Er arbeitete bereits für viele internationale Magazine und schrieb mehrere Bücher: Taxonomies, L’isola sowie Under the Volcano and Other Stories.
