Maps, charts, graphs â?" all diagrams â?" are used by us to organize our experience of the world outside. Our senses coordinate information from our surroundings and organize it â?" often in linear form â?" so that we can know â??where we areâ?? and go from A to B in any situation.The authors of this book suggest an exciting method for applying the diagram to our internal world of thoughts, ideas, feelings and emotions. Diagramming an inner situation will, they argue, not only help us to understand an attitude or feeling, but will also put us into touch with our innermost organizing mechanism, whether we call it soul, spirit, psyche, mind or cerebral cortex.The way we experience the world, our perception of it and our perception mechanisms, contributes to the construction of our diagram; models, games, the ambivalence of coincidence, the relation between personality and cosmology â?" all these are topics round which important sections of the book are constructed and which are the basis of the excitement the authors convey so invitingly. A diagram, they say, is not an idea but a model of it, intended to clarify, in the way a map does, characteristic features of the terrain, inner or outer.Humans have been navigators and geometers for thousands of years, and the method suggested here is put forth as a way to bring our inner world into greater harmony with our outer world.The many drawings in the book â?" a large number of them in color â?" provide a graphic demonstration of diagramming, and offer the reader several opportunities to indulge in perceptual â??games.â??.

Paperback. Condition: Near fine. First. In the 1960s and early 1970s, Keith Albarn was a freelance artist who specialized in design commissions of all kinds, but particularly for festivals and exhibitions, alongside his own environmental art. He later created the group Vertex, with Jenny Miall Smith, Stanford Steele, and Dinah Walker, which allowed him to both pursue an interest in pattern and mathematics while applying that interest to commercial design ventures. In one important case, Vertex worked on the World of Islam Festival at the Institute of Contemporary Arts. The group's research and artistic inquiry in light of the festival resulted in this book, "The Language of Pattern: An Enquiry Inspired by Islamic Decoration." Though Vertex itself does not appear to have lasted very long, Albarn's fascination with pattern and how it applied not only to art but to the larger philosophical questions continued virtually for the rest of his life, culminating in a solo multimedia exhibition at the Minories Galleries in 2013 called "Pattern and Belief." "For over forty years Keith Albarn has been researching number systems and patterns, and their relationship to belief systems and creativity," the exhibition website says, and both the Minories Galleries and Albarn believed in his work so fervently that Albarn purposely left the section of his website about the exhibition"live" twelve years after the original exhibition's opening. It is still live even after Albarn's death in 2024, so to encourage further exploration and, as it says, "interconnectedness." Yet it all began with this book, back when it was first published in 1974. Our copy is in near fine condition, with the only visible flaws being a bump and small scuff on the bottom of the spine and some age tanning on the fore edge of the pages. There is no writing or other marks on the pages or the covers, and the text block is tight and straight, with no missing or damaged pages. It is a paperback but with a French flapa.k.a. gatefoldcover. The copyright page indicates this title was first published in the U.K. by Thames and Hudson and states explicitly that this copy is part of the first U.S. edition. Please see our photos.
