This course explores the concept of "forbidden crystal symmetry" in mathematics and architecture, focusing on non-repeating patterns and the use of unique symmetries in design. The learning outcomes include understanding the mathematical underpinnings of forbidden symmetries, recognizing the features and structures of these patterns, and exploring their applications in architectural design. The course teaches about crystallographic and geometric symmetry, the subtleties of non-periodic arrangements, and the historical and modern significance of forbidden symmetries. The teaching method involves a lecture format with visual examples and illustrations. The intended audience includes individuals interested in mathematics, architecture, design, and the intersection of art and science.
