Being idle at work, I've come across a fun math site run by Dr. Sarah-Marie Belcastro. She's found a rather winning formula in developing a hybrid practice between expert research and casual hobby. The result: Topological mathematics and the fibre-arts. Check it, instead of mere beanies, you can don a moebius strip or klein bottle on your head.
This should have much relevance for architects out there involved in found geometries looking to move out of an abstract and simulationist mode, ready to engage the cultural consequence of their formal studies. Knitted, mathematically generated architecture.
p.s. she also collects mathematicians....
