Estratto
Per parecchi anni ho viaggiato in lungo e in largo per realizzare delle sculture geometriche. Il mio obiettivo è quello di mettere in contatto fisicamente il grande pubblico con la bellezza della matematica. Credo che la maggior parte delle persone abbiano un sentimento naturale per schemi e forme, che definisco estetica geometrica [1]. Un’attività di scultura, a cui partecipano più persone, offre un modo per imparare in maniera informale la matematica, che coinvolge emotivamente divertendo e attraendo persino le persone che possono sentirsi minacciate dai modi tradizionali di presentare la matematica. Vari esempi di “scultura per edificare dei fienili” sono descritte in [2,5].
