Commission on Crystallography in Art and Cultural Heritage

2013

The web site http://www.crystaledges.org was inaugurated in Fall 2013, and demonstrates connections between crystallography and, in particular, symmetry aspects and the arts as manifested in the Gothic Windows of the Medieval Cathedrals of Europe.

There was collaboration with Painton Cowen to extend and expand his web site (http://www.therosewindow.com), which contained over 500 Gothic Roses windows, to a larger number (over 1500 currently) and to include a rigorous description of the symmetry elements (and plane symmetry groups) contained in them.
