"This book was very strange. It DOES appear that the geometric considerations it talks about are accurate, and apply to the pieces discussed in the book, but for almost every single one I found myself thinking "Noooo. No way. Totally reaching to make a point." Then there would be a page overlaying the structure it was describing which did, indeed, form connections as the text described.If you are an artist, especially a student artist whose critiques often result in criticism of layout or arrangement, I would recommend this book. If you spend some time reading this, and really work on applying what it talks about, you'll see a difference in how your art is received. Even if you're an artist who is generally pretty good at layout, I'd recommend this to you as well just to help crystallize some concepts and maybe inspire some change in focus.I'm only giving this four stars because it feels like this book is missing something, but I can't quite put my finger on what. I absolutely felt like I came away having learned something, but there's this persistent feeling like there was some next step it didn't quite reach. I'll come back and edit/add a comment if I figure out what it is."

This is an amazing book. I really enjoy the analisys and the geometric layouts and compositions inside it, but I feel that you should be really interested on the subject before, cause this book will be a little boring for students who wants to know pratical things about design methods. This is a book for reference to understand how artists and designers thru history used grid systems to organice the elements and proportions in the space. This book could be an interesting starting point to think the design as a reflexive exercise. Highly recommended.edb
