Description:
Symmetry has been widely known as a central concept in science since ancient times. Symmetry also plays
an important methodological role in modern art and science. Inspired by various cultural traditions, from
Europe to Africa and from the Far-East to America, Symmetry can bridge different branches of science and
arts, as well as different human cultures, and thus avoid overspecialisation and some related problems.
In the ALHAMBRA 2000, we are interested especially about the modern viewpoints of symmetry:
1.Regularity of periodical and non-periodical designs, the crystallographic groups, and their relationship with the symmetry of ornamentation, and NEC groups. 2.Theory of colour symmetry. 3.Applications of Symmetry Theory to other sciences. 4.The relationships of mathematics and art (from the Islamic culture to our age).
