Projective Ornament is a book written by Claude Bragdon, an American architect, writer, and philosopher. The book was originally published in 1915 and has since become a classic in the field of design and architecture.The book explores the concept of projective geometry and its application in ornamentation and design. Projective geometry is a branch of mathematics that deals with the properties of geometric figures that remain unchanged when they are projected onto a different plane or surface.Bragdon argues that projective geometry can be used to create ornamentation that is both beautiful and functional. He believes that ornamentation should not be an afterthought in design but rather an integral part of the design process.The book is divided into two parts. The first part provides an introduction to projective geometry and its application in design. The second part contains a series of essays that explore various aspects of ornamentation, including the principles of symmetry, the use of color, and the relationship between ornamentation and structure.Throughout the book, Bragdon provides numerous examples of projective ornamentation, including examples from architecture, textiles, and other decorative arts. He also includes illustrations and diagrams to help readers better understand the concepts he presents.Overall, Projective Ornament is a fascinating exploration of the intersection between mathematics, design, and art. It is a must-read for anyone interested in architecture, design, or the history of ornamentation.1915.
