Featured on PDR in the collection “I Reunite Architecture and Perspective”: Hirschvogel’s Geometria (1543)

One theory about wormholes — those speculative cosmological structures that tunnel between distant points in the universe — holds that spacetime can be folded like a piece of paper, bringing the near and far into proximity. Examining the manuscript pages from Augustin Hirschvogel’s Geometria (1543), collected below, we are thrust into an analogous encounter with early solid geometry; suddenly the distant past is thrown up before our eyes on screen, and we glimpse another form of interdimensional folding, one much less hypothetical.
