Purpose

In order to accommodate growing interest in ideas generated by my books and teaching,
I'm offering illustrated talks, classes and workshops for the general public.
The central purpose of this Constructing The Universe teaching space is
to provide a creative atmosphere for adults and youngsters
to explore interesting ideas through talks and hands-on activities not otherwise easily available.

“You never change things by fighting the existing reality.
To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.”
R. Buckminster Fuller

These are opportunities for people interested in exploring "sacred" or "philosophical geometry,"
the timeless wisdom of nature's patterns and number/shape symbolism
in worldwide sacred traditions and cultures of the deep past.
Longer workshops for more extensive hands-on explorations of certain topics will also be offered.

I've been an educator for 36 years, of youngsters and adults, from second graders to post-graduate students,
with eleven years in middle schools including "gifted" programs
(I learned not to separate children this way, all children are gifted and deserve the best education).
For the past eight years I've been teaching "Mathematical Ideas For Artists" to enthusiastic art students
at the California College Of The Arts in San Francisco and Oakland.

"And since geometry is the right foundation of all painting,
I have decided to teach its rudiments and principles to all youngsters eager for art..."
-- Albrecht Dürer (1471-1528) Course in the Art of Measurement 1525
