All anticipated the spatial inventions with which architects including Frank Gehry, a declared Matta-Clark fan, would demolish modernist geometry.
Sensible, spatial design?
Mantegna's invention of total spatial illusionism by the manipulation of perspective and foreshortening began a tradition of ceiling decoration that was followed for three centuries.
He saw a precedent in Caravaggio's invention, in around 1600, of Baroque spatial illusion, in which the space in a picture appears continuous with the space outside it.
Conformal polyhedral linkages have drawn attention of scientists and engineers since the invention of Buckminster Fuller: a highly overconstrained spatial linkage, the Jitterbug.
The Franklin Institute, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, awarded the Benjamin Franklin Medal in Engineering to Robert E. Newnham for his invention of multiphase piezoelectric transducers and their spatial architecture which revolutionized the field of acoustic imaging.
One, "The Meeting of Solomon and the Queen of Sheba," from the workshop of Francesco del Cossa, has almost knotted spatial complexities that make it a bravura demonstration of that Renaissance invention, one-point perspective.
After the invention, much effort has been made to improve the spatial resolution in order to realize a single cell level measurement.
Novel tools and technologies for improving spatial thinking should consider that the link between motoric action and technology interfaces has expanded profoundly since the invention of the mouse (Design principle #3).
Applying a spatial autoregressive model to China's provinces, the paper finds that regional knowledge spillovers have a favorable effect on design, invention and utility patents.
