Location: London Knowledge Lab - Large seminar room
Date and Time:
Thursday, 14 February 2008, 17:30 - 19:00

The London Knowledge Lab is hosting a special lecture to celebrate the installation of our magnificent Zome model,
the "omnitruncated 120 cell", constructed from 21,360 parts of the
Zometool geometrical construction system. The model presents a shadow
in the three dimensional world of a geometrical shape defined in four
dimensions.
Our distinguished speaker, PAUL HILDEBRANDT, is co-developer of the Zome system and founder of the Zometool
company in Colorado, USA. His lecture will be titled, "Zome: from
live-in sculpture to a language for understanding the structure of
space." He will describe how the roots of the Zome system draw on the
inspiration of art, architecture and mathematics, and touch on the deep
structure of nature and numbers.
The lecture will commence at 5.30pm. Tea will be served from 5.00pm. There will be a reception after the lecture, starting at 7.00pm.
