Hijos de la Geometria - by Josep Bofill (Paperback)

About the Book

Can Geometry explain Life? The answer is YES. But how to argue it? Writing this essay has been like traveling to an unknown and remote country, a true discovery, a mental adventure to understand to what extent we are CHILDREN OF GEOMETRY. It is an eminently graphic study, which, starting from the most elementary conception of geometry, goes deep into the structure of three-dimensional space, until it is linked to the processes that constitute the very basis of Life. This research brings to the surface implications of geometric developments in multiple manifestations of the human mind: mathematics, physical and biological sciences, philosophy and cosmology, religion and symbology, art, technology and design, music and dance.... The author's intention is to shed some new light on such an intricate subject, and I dare to recommend the reader to approach it without expectations, allowing himself to be carried away by the book's argumentative current.

About the Author

Josep Bonfill López, born in Barcelona, an architect by profession, has been a professor at the Polytechnic University of Catalonia and has specialized in environmental sustainability and energy efficiency in building. Retired in 2021, he has spent the first years of his new stage in life deepening his knowledge of a subject he has always been passionate about: the geometry of three-dimensional space and its relationship with mathematics, physics, philosophy, symbology and cosmology. The result of this analysis is the essay "Children of Geometry", a text narrated by J.B. Goodson, an alter ego of the author, specially conceived to lead this work.
