Paul Marchant
Over the many years that Paul has taught at The Prince’s School he has developed a series of workbooks to guide students in the discipline of geometry, its relation to pattern, art and architecture. Paul’s current research in traditional geometry relates the grammar of pattern inherent in nature to the generation of designs in proportional formats, supporting the work of artists, designers and crafts people. His book ‘Unity in Pattern’* helped establish teaching programmes to extend the work of The School into international institutions.
For these programmes he has developed books based on cultural references and curricula that are relevant to each individual community. He has also contributed to many publications – from work on some of the illustrations of ‘Islamic Patterns: An Analytical and Cosmological Approach’*, by Professor Keith Critchlow, to a section of ‘The Minbar of Saladin: Reconstructing a Jewel of Islamic Art’, edited by Lynette Singer.
*Please note that these publications are currently out of print.
