Ok some of my cartoons my be tangental or obtuse. This ones is just a round of two dimensional, bad quality geometry puns. A total sin cos' there is no real focal point to transverse this from this null set of ideas into a more solid sphere of humour. Truely this line is not my area. My translation of these notions looses something from their original magnitude, & is left un-paralelled & looking a little plane.
My apologies.

The acclaimed American artists Doug and Mike Starn are most recently known for their immersive Big Bambú sculptures experienced worldwide by over 2 million visitors.
Each piece, unique in shape, responds physically and culturally to the site where the artists and their team of rock-climbers are invited to dwell during the weeks of construction. All structures, built from “random chaos” with thousands of bamboo poles lashed together with miles of rope, reveal the invisible architecture of life weaving into a habitable sculpture.
Art Playground Ordrupgaard is proud to offer its audience the site-specific Geometry of Innocence, spreading over 100 m2. Winding footpaths reaching 15 metres at the highest point, create an artery through the bamboo environment, allowing visitors to experience being aloft in the work and hang out in the social spaces. The work is installed last spring by the artists themselves and a team of rock-climbers, and will be a permanent installation on Art Playground Ordrupgaard.

This startled me as I walked down the same block I walk every single day. I had never seen it before - nor since.

wrt method described here
// uv given on [0..1), remap to [-pi,pi) to simplify equations below
u = u * 2.0*Math.PI - Math.PI;
v = v * 2.0*Math.PI - Math.PI;
// evaluate
double sqrtTwo = Math.sqrt(2.0);
double twoThirdsPi = Math.PI * 2.0 / 3.0;
double x = Math.sin(u) / (sqrtTwo + Math.cos(v));
double y = Math.sin(u+twoThirdsPi) / (sqrtTwo + Math.cos(v+twoThirdsPi));
double z = Math.cos(u-twoThirdsPi) / (sqrtTwo + Math.cos(v-twoThirdsPi));
return new WB_Point(x,y,z);
How do you figure out how much water a cylinder holds? Math teacher Mark Yates gave his students a piece of string and a metric ruler and challenged them to use these simple tools and their geometry know-how to come up with an answer on May 16, 2019. Photography by Glenn Minshall.
The photograph proves it can be done, but 3D printing is far better. Computations made with Rhino/Grasshopper

I couldn't tell you now where this building is in Las Vegas, but I sure see why I shot this!

Geometry is evident on all scales in the Burren, if you want to look for it, from the crisscross of the grikes and clints on the small scale, to the great horizontal slabs of limestone layers, to the graceful curves of the great rock domes. Even the farmers' fields' rectangles superimposed on the terrain's curves lend to a sense of a strange kind of order. No wonder writers of the caliber of W. B. Yeats and Lady Gregory found inspiration here.
. . . from the archives. Taken in Olympia about two or so years ago. I {heart} geometric shapes, etc.
