An international group of thinkers, makers, and educators interested in spatial phenomena, complex systems, and nature-inspired design gathered on campus in late September.
The event, called Geometry of Uncertainty, was hosted and organized by RISD’s Fleet Library and the Edna W. Lawrence Nature Lab, and was inspired by the Arthur Loeb Design Science Teaching Collection & Archive.
The collection of objects and prints was amassed by late crystallographer Arthur L. Loeb, who used them to help students envision the world at macro and molecular scales and understand key spatial concepts.
