The proto-theory of design : the method of analysis of the ancient geometers (2007)
Journal Article
Koskela, L., & Kagioglou, M. (2007). The proto-theory of design : the method of analysis of the ancient geometers. Strojarstvo, 49(1), 45-52

It is contended that the ancient method of analysis and synthesis, developed originally by Greek geometers, provides a proto-theory of design, which unfortunately has largely been forgotten in the modern period. For justifying this claim, six centra... Read More about The proto-theory of design : the method of analysis of the ancient geometers.
