Abstract
The Polish architectural engineer Waclaw Szpakowski (1883-1973) spent over fifty years of his spare time creating
intricate line drawings—each one a single line that starts on the left side of the page and winds its way across its
surface, bending only at 90 angles and finally ending up on the right side. In this paper, we discuss his linear ideas
and present our eorts to map them (and also our own Szpakowski-esque designs) onto cylinders, tori, Möbius strips,
and the faces of cubes.
