but, as you can see a lot of thought and “hidden geometery” have not only gone into this, but all kinds of art & design for hundreds of years. Cool stuff. O, in case you where wondering, play Monopoly with me and your kids will owe me rent money.

  1. Hi Miguel,

    This looks great on your site! I’ve been locating more information about geometry in design. I just found a book entitled “Book Design” by Andrew Haslam that shows how to use the root two rectangle to develop grids for layout work. Learning is a life long endeavor!

    Keep learning!
