Gerhard Riebicke (DE, 1878 - 1957)
Still from Ways to Strength and Beauty (1925)
Riebicke’s pictures document the emergence of gymnastics as popular activity, which marked a fundamental change in movement behavior and initiated the cult of the body (Lebensreform movement, early 20th c.), later utilized for the irrational idolization of the body in the Third Reich...

The woodcut prints of Tom Killion speak of a deep love for the landscape, a passion for the poetics of space. In particular California’s northern wild edge inspired him from an early age. Spending countless hours carving into wood the sketches he brought back from his trips into the great outdoors. The technique applied is almost identical to the traditional Japanese woodblock printing used by Hokusai two hundred years ago. A multi-color print can take several months to complete but the result is one of a kind.

Root Research from 1960 showing that plants connect and send information and resources back and forth under ground.
“The following drawings are taken from the Wurzelatlas, a book series that began in 1960 and is regarded the standard work on root research. It comprises seven volumes filled with thousands of meticulous field drawings. This grand body of work is the achievement of three researchers: Lore Kutschera, Erwin Lichtenegger and Monika Sobotik, all members of the Austrian Pflanzensoziologische Institut. For these scientists, root research means uncovering roots as they grow in their natural environment and to which conditions they react individually. Prof. Erwin Lichtenegger (1928-2004) drew the exposed roots as true-to-scale mapping, because this manual method allows a documentation that photographic documentation does not make possible. The drawings are unique instruments for visualising something that is otherwise not perceivable in its complexity. Down to the finest details, the drawings show the growth of the roots, so that a different perspective and an awareness of the dimensions of that part of the plants becomes comprehensible.” -- DoorofPerception.com

Isamu Noguchi (JP-US, 1904 - 1988)
_
Playscapes, 1970s
I think of playgrounds as a primer of shapes and functions; simple, mysterious, and evocative; thus educational.
The Noguchi Museum in New York holds the biggest collection of his works and their website is a great place to explore more: View the collection
