Roger Burrows
Roger Burrows (born 19 July 1945, Evesham, Worcestershire) is a British writer working in the fields of geometry, design, and architectural form; a developer of interactive learning products; an inventor of various technologies.〔(Octagonal house plan, retrieved from Boulder, CO gov't website june 2009 )〕 He has published numerous books,〔()〕〔''Mazes, Models & More'' (1988) Price Stern Sloan ISBN 978-0-8431-2281-7 ISBN 0843122811〕〔''Counting Farm'', Roger Burrows and Eli Cantillon. School Zone Pub. Co, 2002. ISBN 978-1-58947-846-6 ISBN 1-58947-846-0〕 and is best known for his series of geometric design books,〔
''Gridesigns to Color'' Price Stern Sloan, 1992. ISBN 978-0-8431-0448-6 ISBN 0-8431-0448-1〕 developed with Dr. Ensor Holiday,〔("A new photo-electric spectrophotometer", F Campbell Smith and Ensor R. Holiday, Research Laboratories, The London Hospital. 1931, Trans. Opt. Soc. )〕〔(''On Creativity'' David Bohm &Lee Nichol, pg. 85 )〕〔(Nature, #143, 895–896 (27 May 1939) "Absorption Spectra of Proteins" Ensor Holiday )〕 and published under the names ''Altair Designs'' and ''Images: The Ultimate Coloring Experience''. He founded ix2, an educational products company based in Park City, Utah, in 2011. In 1999 he co-founded Sandvik Innovations LLC with Sandvik Publishing – Sandvik Innovations LLC was sold in 2011 to the Horizon Group; in the early 1990s he developed the Booktronics product line for Readers Digest, and before that was the Executive Vice-President of the Price Stern Sloan publishing company.〔()〕〔()〕
Roger Burrows has invented a number of technologies including Magnix, Photo Q, and Booktronics and developed Questron, an interactive book and electronic "wand" system for children.〔(Questron titles at Alibris.com )〕 He has produced exhibitions for the Leonardo, Utah's Science and Technology Museum, for the Investiture of the Prince of Wales, and for the Architectural Association in London.
==Altair Design/Images==
Burrows worked with Ensor Holiday, of Guy's Hospital, London, in the early 1970s, developing a set of geometric patterns called Altair Designs. Altair Designs were variations of a unique and unusual Islamic design constructed on an arrangement of close packing of circles, with variation in circle sizes.〔Bourgoin: ''Le Trait des Entrelacs'' (''Arabic Geometrical Pattern & Design'') (1879) (reprinted, Dover Books, 1973) – source for some of the ideas for Altair Designs〕 The design variations were found to have unique visual properties and served to stimulate the visual imagination. Altair Designs were originally published by Random House as colouring books for both adults and children under the ''Altair Design'' name.〔''Altair Design'' by Ensor Holiday. Random House (1973) ISBN 0-394-82548-9〕 Burrows began developing, in the late 1960s, a dynamic geometry of close packing spheres of different sizes where spheres change size and move from one unique close packing arrangement to another, creating unique three-dimensional forms. Burrows has given numerous lectures on his geometry of close packing spheres as well as lectures on the evolution of geometrical systems through time, and how they were applied by cultures in the past. Burrows has also developed designs based on close packing circle arrangements generated by his geometry of spheres, including ''Images: The Ultimate Coloring Experience,'' and ''Hidden Images'' published by Running Press.〔''Images: The Ultimate Coloring Experience." Philadelphia: Running Press, 1992 through to 2011〕 Burrows redrew all of the original Altair designs for Wooden Books published in 2009. ''Altair Designs'' and ''Images'' designs are all based on unique geometrical structures – in the case of Altair Designs they are based on two arrangements of close packing circles and in the case of "Images" designs based on close packing circle arrangements of all sorts plus many other precise geometrical systems.
