Compass and Rule exhibition catalogue, Hard Back

A catalogue of the exhibition by curators Anthony Gerbino and Stephen Johnston, has been published by Yale University Press and can be purchased from the Museum for £25.

Featuring drawings, instruments, paintings and other material from the exhibition, this book discusses the role of mathematics in architectural design and building technology, focusing in particular on the scientist, mathematician and architect Sir Christopher Wren.

Interweaving text and visual image, the book investigates the boundaries between art and science in architecture – the most artistic of the sciences and the most scientific of the arts.
