(2005-08-25) Logic Alphabet

The Logic Alphabet developed by Shea Zellweger reminds me of the work of John Wilkins and Gottfried Leibniz. From a basement in Ohio, guided literally by his dreams and his innate love of pattern, Zellweger developed an extraordinary visual system—called the “Logic Alphabet”—in which a group of specially designed letter-shapes can be manipulated like puzzles to reveal the geometric patterns underpinning logic. Indeed, Zellweger has built a series of physical models of his alphabet that recall the educational teaching toys, or “gifts,” of Friedrich Fröbel (Froebel gifts), the great nineteenth-century founder of the Kindergarten movement.
