Outdoor Sculptures.

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to show by means of three examples, that some theorems of 3-dimensional Geometry suggest esthetically promising outdoor sculptures. The first two examples are obtained by the Harmonic Analysis, i.e. the Finite Fourier Series, applies to an arbitrary skew hexagon in R sub 3. The third example of a geometric outdoor sculpture is furnished by and Anti-cylinder. The author hopes that some architect will notice this paper and build and outdoor sculpture based on one of the three examples given here. (Author)
