Book Review 4 : Lines

Lines by Tim Ingold

It is very interesting how the book is created int he footsteps of cultural history.

"The interface between anthropology, archeology, art and architecture"

I enjoyed the pace of the book, it started its intellectual journey from it beginnings. It is a pleasing archeological approach. He looked into the construction of typology and typography. Breaking down lines into series of froms. Mainly, threads and traces. Which then leads to a further breakdown of lines. Making them into smaller atoms that is focused on its shapes and form. The author writes with his own experience and a collection of thoughts and events. He is not certain about wether or not he is right, but he warns you that, he is messing with a sensitive topic. His humble words made the book much more convincing and appreciated. Through words, he then leads the relations of lines to music. How they are all intersected in its own way. He placed classes of line to work in a multitude of context. This book examines the material culture and examines its properties.
