Schodek; Hardcover Though on the more expensive side with $80 at Amazon.com, this is a MUST HAVE in your Kinetic Art library if you are working on larger kinetic sculptures or ever wondered about the safety and engineering aspect of moving art in public places. Excerpt from the Review section: "Among the topics Schodek discusses are basic stability issues (preventing sliding, overturning, and collapse; types of structures (frameworks, plates, cables, rotating works) and their behavior under load; earthworks and landforms; and properties of materials and their influence on structural behavior. He illustrates these topics with sculptures ranging from small free-standing pieces to the Statue of Liberty and the landscape interventions of Christo. Structural principles are presented in a way that can be clearly understood by the nonengineer, often with the help of sketches and diagrams. They will tell a sculptor, for example, if a work proportioned in a certain way will overturn or not when set on a base, or if a particular piece is big enough to support its own weight without bending or breaking. For the more technically sophisticated reader, Schodek has developed an extensive set of Dotes and appendixes that put the concepts introduced in the text into more mathematical language. Written by Mark Di Suvero, Isis, 1978. Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Smithsonian Institution. Gift of the Institute 'of Scrap Iron and Steel, Inc.
