A ‘chronological bibliography’, in order to see the frequency, progression and trail of use of the term ‘parquet deformation’ in the literature. The term first appeared, not unnaturally, from William Huff, in an architecture journal in 1965. The listing is in two parts, deceived as ‘simplified’ and ‘detailed’. Simplified contains the journal without further comment, whist detailed retains the text as previously compiled from my bibliography, with on occasion updated for this specific new page. Note that I am strict here as to criteria; I accept no other term than ‘parquet deformation/s’, other than a slightly different rephrasing e.g. ’deformation of parquet patterns’. Parquet is the operative word here. Indeed, omitted are instances where although the author is clearly referring to parquet deformations, this is not described as such, e.g. 1965 (1) Huff, William S. ‘An Argument for Basic Design’.

As a general observation, how infrequent the references to parquet deformations there are! Of the 56 years after the inception of the term (by Huff), there are only 82 references. And further, some of these are bloated by including ‘semi-official’ publications in Issuu. Almost half, 22 of the years, do not have a single reference! Indeed, even as recently as 2016, there was not been a single reference. The most of any one year is just 6. From 1965 to 1983, save for one outlier of 1974, there was but at most one reference for any one year (and the outlier had just two). However, one can indeed see trends here. From 1984 onwards, and to the present day, there is a definite increase in frequency. This can be put down to a 1983 popular article by Douglas Hofstadter in Scientific American. It is the one piece that is frequently (and deservedly) quoted. To better aid the publication type analysis, I have added a column listing the different fields. However, not all the entries are catalogued due to insufficient detail being available. Further, at times it was difficult as to how best describe a certain journal. At best, this is just a rough guide. Perhaps the most interesting is how little there is in mathematics books and journals, of which given its tessellation nature, may otherwise have been expected. Architecture features prominently throughout. Of interest, given Huff’s analogy with music, is any references in that field. However, there seems little interest, with just a handful of references.

This is the first popular account of parquet deformations, with William Huff’s student-inspired works, of which Hofstadter does it full justice, with 12 stunning examples, with works by: Fred Watts (Fylfot Flipflop), Richard Lane (Crossover), Richard Mesnik (Dizzy Bee), Scott Grady (Consternation), Francis O’Donnell (Oddity out of Old Oriental Ornament), Leonard Chan (Y Knot), Arne Larson (Crazy Cogs), Glen Paris (Trifoliate), Joel Napach (Arabesque), unknown (Razor Blades), Jorge Guttierrez, (Curacha), Laird Pylkas (Beecombing Blossoms), and Vincent Marlowe (Clearing the Thicket). And the titles are most amusing too! To pick a favourite is invidious. However, if pressed ‘Fylfot Flipflop’. Of note is that these are all linear. Absolutely delightful! However, Hofstadter seems to have erred somewhat in his commentary; Branko Grünbaum and G. C. Shephard, in Tilings and Patterns, p. 170, takes him to task, concerning his comment on monohedral tiles, p. 14: ‘Despite the claims to the contrary most of the tilings shown in Hofstadter’s article include tiles which are not prototiles of any monohedral tilings’. 1984 (4) Huff, William. ‘Geometrizzare and perceptualize’, in Rassegna, 1984.

Krithivasan, Kamala and Anindya Das. ‘Terminal weighted grammars and picture description’. Computer Vision, Graphics, and Image Processing, Volume 30, Issue 1, April 1985, pp. 13-31. NOT SEEN Abstract Motivated by the idea of describing parquet deformations using grammars and also of describing an infinite number of terminals starting with only a finite set, this paper defines a terminal weighted grammar, where the terminal generated at any step of a derivation is defined as a function of time. It is seen that terminal weighted regular grammars generate exactly the class of recursively enumerable sets. Terminal weighted matrix grammars are used to describe parquet deformations. What exactly is a ‘terminal weighted grammars’ is unclear. From Ricardo Wandre Dias Pedro et al: Grammars are widely used to describe string languages such as programming and natural languages and, more recently, biosequences. Moreover, since the 1980s grammars have been used in computer vision and related areas. Some factors accountable for this increasing use regard its relatively simple understanding and its ability to represent some semantic pattern models found in images, both spatially and temporally.

M. C. Escher utilized it in his famous woodcut “Metamorphosis III” and other works (see Escher [1971, [1982]). The tiling is represented on a long strip of paper and it changes gradually as one moves from one end to the other. For other examples of such tilings see Hofstadter [1983], Huff [1983]. It is quite challenging to design deformations of this kind in such a way that every tile can serve as a prototile of a monohedral tiling. Despite the claim to the contrary (see Hoftstadter [1983, p. 14]), most of the tilings shown in Hofstadter’s article include tiles which are not prototiles of any monohedral tilings.

Gradually, almost imperceptibly, lighter color values change into darker ones. “Each of my quilts,” the artist writes; “is a study in light.” Surface paint helps ease the transition from one color to another. In scientific terms, such a progressive, step-by-step alteration is known as a parquet deformation. But in Studstill’s case, the principle of incrementally graduating tones was not soley [sic] based on scientific or color theory, but also intuited from the experience of her Texas Hill Country surroundings. “I am inspired,” she writes; “by landscape views and vistas, fields of [all kinds] … and changes in my local landscape.” N.B.

Harvester Wheatsheaf 1995, and Allen Lane The Penguin Press 1997, 501 pp. A single page discussion on parquet deformations, albeit without diagrams, p. 477. A heavyweight tome, of largely of an academic nature, although readable, but obscure, with numerous essays, albeit invariably of limited interest, way beyond my understanding. And an interesting tidbit on Amazon, below the main discussion! P. 477. For me, what Lenat and Chamberlain did for their programs is strongly reminiscent of the role that is played by William Huff, an architecture professor, with respect to students in his design courses. Huff has a long-standing tradition of assigning his design students the challenge of creating "parquet deformations" - tilings of the plane that gradually metamorphose in an Escher-like manner as they move across the plane (many examples are given and discussed in Chapter 10 of Hofstadter, 1985). To get the idea across to the students in each successive class, Huff shows a portfolio consisting of what he considers to be the best examples from previous years. Thereby inspired, the current crop of students then produces a large set of new parquet deformations, most of which are not great, but usually at least a few of which are novel and exciting. As one would expect, Huff applies his own keen artistic judgment to the latest harvest, pruning the weak ones out and adding his favorites to the growing portfolio to be shown to subsequent classes. In this way, a process of evolution takes place, with Huff playing the role of natural selection, letting artistically weak specimens die and strong ones survive, and then propagating the "most fit genes" by exhibiting the survivors to his class the next year. Over a period of some twenty or more years, Huff has managed to direct the course of evolution of parquet deformations in a very interesting way. The question naturally arises as to the authorship of all these pieces. Huff has a practice of labeling each piece, when they are exhibited in a museum or gallery, "from the studio of William Huff", with no further information. However, when I decided to publish a small selection of these beautiful studies, I felt that Huff's labeling practice was too one-sided, and so for each piece I listed both Huff's name and the student's name. I felt this was fairer. But I certainly could see two sides of this question. There was no doubt in my mind that Huff deserved a large portion of the credit. Whether it was less or more than 50 percent remains an unresolved but fascinating question in my mind. Wikipedia Fluid Concepts and Creative Analogies: Computer Models of the Fundamental Mechanisms of Thought is a 1995 book by Douglas Hofstadter and other members of the Fluid Analogies Research Group exploring the mechanisms of intelligence through computer modeling. It contends that the notions of analogy and fluidity are fundamental to explain how the human mind solves problems and to create computer programs that show intelligent behavior. It analyzes several computer programs that members of the group have created over the years to solve problems that require intelligence.

Huff compares the Landscape Handscroll and the Parquet Deformation with the Sino-Japanese right-left viewing and the Western left to right, and more, including temporality, off-shoots of D'Arcy Thompson and Escher. An excellent all-round overview, with all aspects considered. This being so, I thus detail this article more extensively than others. The main substance is Chapter 2. The article includes: 1 The Aesthetics of the Parquet Deformation: Canons and their Afterimage 1.1 Do East and West Share the Same Sense of Drama? 1.2 Spatial versus Temporal Art Forms 1.3 Temporal Visual Art, Experienced through Channeled "Serial Images" 1.4 How Are Handscrolls and Parquet Deformations Composed? 2 The Mathematics of the Parquet Deformation: Constraints of Symmetry and Topology 2.1 Parquet Patterns, a Recent Diversion in Geometry 2.2 Designing Novel Parquet Patterns and Deforming One into Another 2.3 Influence of D'Arcy Thompson; Comparisons with M. C. Escher The article has seven parquet deformations from Huff’s studio, with works by, in sequential order, Liou Jiunn-liang (Romeo and Juliet, 1993), Fred Watts (Fylfot Flipflop, 1963), Pamela McCracken (Cloisonné, 1990), Loretta Fontaine (Seven of One Make Three, 1991), Vincent Marlowe (Clearing the Thicket, 1979), Alexandria Gelencser (Swizzle Stick Twirl, 1986), Bryce Bixby (They Come, They Go, 1991). All are from Buffalo, save for the Watts (Carnegie-Mellon) instance. However, perhaps a little oddly, there is no discussion (or even a reference) of these in the text. Likely, these serve for generic illustrative purposes. Of note, in detail: 2.1 Parquet Patterns, a Recent Diversion in Geometry Essentially, the background to tiling, titled ‘parquet’ by Huff. Mentions of Thomás Maldonado (HfG), Martin Gardner (Scientific American column), and Branko Grünbaum (definition of monohedral tiling). Mentions ‘improper’ parquets. 2.2 Designing Novel Parquet Patterns and Deforming One into Another The title here suggests a tutorial, but this is not so. Rather, it discusses matters of Bravais lattices and rotational symmetry. Chapter 2.3 Influence of D’Arcy Thompson; Comparisons with M. C. Escher. Of note here in the first line is: The intriguing possibility of the incremental deformability of one parquet pattern into another came to our attention in 1960 when it was recognized in one student's designs of several very different looking patterns that there were underlying, but far from obvious morphological relationships between them. The unnamed student is Peter Hotz, derived from Huff’s notes for a SEMA talk (2003). Mentions D’Arcy Thompson’s, On Growth and Form and his chapter ‘On the Theory of Transformations’, and Escher's comparable work. Also detailed is, in so many words, ‘permissible’ and ‘non-permissible’ parquets (not illustrated), the intricacies of which (without visual aid) I am at a loss to understand. Much here is taken from Hofstadter's 1983 article. In the references, Huff quotes four people, including Walther Lietzmann, Anschauliche Topologie and P. A. MacMahon, New Mathematical Pastimes. However, I’m not sure why. In particular, Lietzmann only has a small four-page chapter on tilings, and these are the basics of a school-level introduction. He mentions the MacMahon book elsewhere in general for his tiling interest. 1997 (0) 1998 (1) Brandstetter, Gabriele and Marta Ulvaeus. ‘Defigurative Choreography: From Marcel Duchamp to William Forsythe’.

Many references to parquet deformations in Chapter 3.4.1 ‘Islamic parquet deformations’ pp. 57–58 and Chapter 5.4, ‘Deformations and metamorphoses’, pp. 187–194. Also see p. 212. A select few references: P. 57 Parquet deformations are a style of ornamental design created by William Huff, a professor of architectural design, and later popularized by Hofstadter in Scientific American [83, Chapter 10]. They are a kind of “spatial animation,” a geometric drawing that makes a smooth transition in space rather than time. Parquet deformations are certainly closely related to Escher’s Metamorphosis prints, though unlike Escher’s work they are purely abstract, geometric compositions. They will be discussed in more detail in Section 5.4. Hankin’s method can be used as the basis for a simple but highly effective method of constructing Islamic patterns in the spirit of parquet deformations. I lay out a strip of the template tiling and then run a modified inference algorithm where the contact angle at every contact point is determined by the location of that point in the strip. Smoothly varying the contact angle results in a gently changing geometric design that is still recognizably Islamic. The construction process is illustrated in Figure 3.7; two more examples appear in Figure 3.8. These parquet deformations occupy an interesting place in the world of Islamic geometric art. They have enough overall structure and balance to satisfy the Islamic aesthetic, but they would not have been produced historically because very little repetition is involved. The effort of working out the constantly changing shapes by hand would have tested the patience of any ancient designer. P. 58 Figure 3.7 The construction of an Islamic parquet deformation based on Hankin’s method. The top rows shows the effect of continuously varying the contact angle of a ray depending on the x position of the ray’s starting point in the design. When the process is carried to all other tiles, the design in the second row emerges. Figure 3.8 More examples of Islamic parquet deformations based on Hankin’s method. P. 190 Figure 5.2 Examples of parquet deformations. Presumably, a one-to-one correspondence is established between the tiles of T1 and T2, and as a parameter t moves from 0 to 1, each individual tile gradually deforms from its T1 shape to its T2 shape. The transition might be carried out spatially as in Escher’s art, or even temporally as a smooth animation from T1 to T2. As was mentioned in Section 3.4.1, the parquet deformations of William Huff are a kind of spatial animation. Huff was inspired directly by Escher’s Metamorphoses. He distilled the style down to an abstract core, considering only interpolation transitions, and favouring abstract geometry rendered as simple line art to Escher’s decorated animal forms. As reported by Hofstadter [83, Chapter 10], Huff decided further to focus on the case where T1 and T2 are “directly monohedral,” in the sense that every tile is congruent to every other through translation and rotation only. We may also assume he had only periodic tilings in mind. Finally, he asked that in the intermediate stages of the deformation the tile shapes created could each be the prototile of a monohedral tiling (Hofstadter amends this rule, pointing out that some deformation might be necessary to make the intermediate shapes tile). Inspired by parquet deformations and by Escher’s interpolation transitions, we may pose the P. 191 related problem of finding a smooth transition between any pair of isohedral tilings. A solution to this problem might then be expanded to encompass Escher’s work (by considering a k-isohedral extension) or parquet deformations (by introducing the restrictions mentioned above). In any case, the isohedral problem is sufficiently interesting, and the results sufficiently attractive, that it can be fruitfully studied in isolation.... P. 193 As long as any pair of Laves tilings is joined via a path of base cases, we should be able to move between any two isohedral types. I have found topological transitions that obey all the restrictions of parquet deformations and that unify all the Laves tilings except for (4.6.12).

Commentary on the aesthetic potential of the parquet deformation was presented at the Katachi 2 conference (Huff 1994: 219-222), and commentary on its geometric requisites was presented at the SEMA 4 conference (Huff 2003: 9). I liken the parquet deformation to a remarkable art form, the Chinese handscroll, which, in its most exceptional, but younger genre, the landscape handscroll, goes back a thousand years. Time unfolds as the scroll is synchronously unrolled and rolled—pleasurable frame by pleasurable frame—not dissimilarly to how music flows. Time is engaged, however, in a different manner in respect to compositions whose three dimensions are all spatial. Oddly, the pdf is not paginated, despite the contents being so!

Background of the compiler: Professor Patricia Muñoz, Industrial Designer, Doctor UBA From http://edicionesdelaforma.blogspot.com/ This book has several authors. Some are part of a research group at IEHU, Laboratory of Morphology, FADU, University of Buenos Aires. Others are part of the teaching team that brought this topic to the classroom at the Industrial Design Career, FADU, UBA. In addition, three guests make a significant contribution from other areas. Roberto Doberti refers to the interdisciplinary nature of this work, saying: It is no less important that the book be a product of various hands, none of which loses its particular tenderness in the caress of these forms. In turn, Claudio Guerri points out that this production: unites temporal extremes turning them into spatial neighborhoods, by exploring a theme that links ancient Greek developments with contemporary design practice. http://www.documentosplm.com.ar/downloads/englishtextonly.pdf http://edicionesdelaforma.blogspot.com/2010/05/lineas-espaciales.html Kaplan, Craig S. ‘Curve Evolution Schemes for Parquet Deformations’.

His interlocked creatures often began as parallelograms, squares, triangles, or hexagons, then seamlessly morphed into recognizable shapes, preserving an underlying lattice, as in his visual demonstration in Plate I in [19]. At other times the metamorphosis of creatures changed that lattice, as occurs in his Metamorphosis III. William Huff’s design studio produced some intriguing examples of “parquet deformations” that preserve lattice structure [30], and, more recently, Craig Kaplan has investigated the varieties of deformation employed by Escher [34]. https://www.ams.org/notices/201006/rtx100600706p.pdf 2011 (1) 2012 (5) NOT SEEN, GOOGLE BOOKS REFERENCE Three references, p. xviii, p. 104, 179 (index) P. 104 Craig Kaplan ‘fractal’.

Huff The works of students of William S. Huff, professor emeritus of architecture, were featured in “Basic Design,” a recent exhibition at the Ulm Museum in Ulm, Germany. An internationally noted scholar, Huff studied at the Ulm School of Design and Yale University and then taught at Carnegie-Mellon University before joining the faculty of the Buffalo School in 1974. Over the years, Huff has amassed a collection of material documenting design theory, from the Bauhaus to the HfG/Ulm to the latest methods in design education. Huff has gradually donated much of this material, including the results of many Buffalo School student design assignments, to the HfG/Ulm Archive. “Basic Design” features 40 graphic works and 20 study models from this collection, highlighting Huff’s experimentation with symmetry (programmed design), black & white and color rasters (grid manipulation), congruent sectioning of space, effecting color in pigments as color in light, and the deformation of parquet patterns. Huff’s fundamental doctrine has impacted basic design teaching around the world. Nicholas Bruscia is also mentioned, but not in the context of parquet deformation. https://ap.buffalo.edu/content/dam/ap/3-News---Events/BapMagazine/BAP-Magazine-Spring2014-sm.pdf
P. 86. Untitled (2014) was inspired by Islamic parquet ‘deformations’ created by Craig Kaplan. Kaplan’s work was based on research by William Huff, and was later popularised by Douglas Hofstadter who in turn had been influenced by M.C. Escher’s Metamorphosis series.² I extended Kaplan’s spatial animation work by applying the animation principles, known to most professional animators, to the star forms of Islamic patterns. Although Kaplan was successful in rendering his Islamic star patterns by way of an inference algorithm written as a standalone and executable Java application, he conceded that “(t)he construction of Islamic parquet deformations requires many separate invocations of the inference algorithm, and [was] currently too slow to run interactively.”³ To solve this problem, I adopted a more traditional approach by constructing the parquet deformations animation the old-fashioned way by using a more basic technique, frame-by frame animation. The drive to realise Kaplan’s vision of “a gently changing geometric design that is still recognizably Islamic” was inspired by the fact that nobody had attempted this approach before, owing to the painstaking nature of the undertaking. Changing shapes by hand and then executing the application was very time-consuming.⁴ Even in today’s digital age, achieving such a result is no mean feat… Inconsequential. Oddly, the work Untitled, Fig. 3, although said to be parquet deformation related, is not a parquet deformation as such, and is merely a typical Islamic repeat tiling! Further, Figure 1 and Figure 2 are not (or appear to be) parquet deformations! Background I am not too sure as to what exactly ‘Crossing Disciplines’ is.

First: In the 1960s an American architecture professor, William Huff, coined the term ‘parquet deformation’ to mean a regular pattern of tiles that transforms as you go from left to right whilst maintaining the regularity of the tiling. Essentially a substantial feature on Craig Kaplan’s work rather than a general discussion on the subject, and all mightily impressive and is of required reading. Of a cross-section of his work, in which he brings his full range of computer scientist/mathematical abilities to the premise, leaving lesser mortals far behind. Most of these are simply impractical without the aid of a computer.

Escher created a number of works in which one tessellation morphs into another. Later in the 1960s the architect William Huff investigated these designs with his students, and received wider attention when explored and written about by Douglas Hoffstadter [4]. Recently Craig S. Kaplan has presented his investigations of them at Bridges [6]. These visual designs usually change seamlessly in a horizontal direction through several tiling patterns. Dance choreographers often utilize similar deformations, in both time and space. P. 260: [4] Douglas R.

Escher was a master of this form; as I have explained elsewhere [3], he used a number of visual “metamorphosis” devices to draw tilings that change spatially. Inspired by Escher, the architect and designer William Huff developed “parquet deformations” [2], which were designed to be more abstract and geometric exercises. I have explored several techniques for drawing parquet deformations [3, 5], some of which are relevant here. Temporal animations of tilings are arguably easier to construct than spatial animations, because in the latter case the tiles are changing their shapes in the same dimension in which they are trying to interlock. http://archive.bridgesmathart.org/2019/bridges2019-99.pdf Leone, Francesca.
