Notes

Design/Copyright: “Tectus” is a new game from Naef based on the model and drawings of Jo Neimeyer’s 1996 project called “System 618”. The divisions of the “Tectus” cube by means of the golden section parallel Jo Neimeyer’s research which can also be found in his creation “Modulon”. Tomohiro Nakamura’s submission of a similar design was submitted to Naef in 2007 and eventual produced in 2008. The idea and copyright for this project remains the property of concrete artist and golden section researcher Jo Neimeyer.
