«Research of Rhythm and Technology», the standard work of 1975 by Paul Schatz, now in a third, expanded edition (Niggli Verlag, 2008). This book is of essential importance to all those interested in learning more about the intellectual cosmos of the sculptor-inventor Paul Schatz. Offering a detailed account of the invention of the Invertible Cube, the Oloid and other creations, the book explains the correlations on which the inversion is based, and presents the rich variety of polysomatic solids derived from his exploration of spatial geometry. The book further includes descriptions of the mechanical-engineering elements based on Schatz’ discoveries, such as the Turbula and Inversina, or the more recent Oloid technology increasingly deployed in the field of water treatment.
