Die Welt ist Umstülpbar
_Introduction to the principle of inversion as a creative and natural motif
_Presentation of the oloid and other geometric discoveries by Paul Schatz
_Combining mathematics, movement, and space to create a new understanding of form
_Encouraging participants to question familiar patterns of thinking and design
The world is invertible. The world is rhythmic. This perspective of the wood sculptor, engineer, and inventor Paul Schatz (1898–1979) opens up a new perspective on things. Schatz's voyage of discovery leads to astonishing developments in design, in the understanding of geometric and architectural space, and to a new art of mechanical engineering. Oloids and cuboids are forms that captivate with their beauty. Turbula and Inversina mixers are successfully used in industry, and the oloid in water and environmental technology.
The book conveys a life's work that mediates between the arts and the natural sciences and offers both philosophers and practitioners inspiration for their own work.
