Hello fellow developable aficionados. Strange but true; I had the idea for D-Form geometry in a dream and, blow me down with a feather, it turned out to be a mathematical general principle and is now proven by proper mathematicians like Erik Demaine. Personally I don't understand a single symbol of the maths but even small children can make a D-Form in minutes. I'm glad to see that D-Forms have inspired craftsmen and women, designer, architects and others. As a designer myself I find it almost unbelievable that there could be a large visual vocabulary of simple geometric forms that creative people just didn't know about but it happens to be the case. I'll be posting picture up here but in the meantime see: http://local.wasp.uwa.edu.au/~pbourke/geometry/dform/index.htm and search Amazon for: D-Forms: Surprising New 3-D Forms From Flat Curved Shapes
