Architectural geometry
Area of research
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Architectural geometry is an area of research which combines applied geometry and architecture,[1] which looks at the design, analysis and manufacture processes. It lies at the core of architectural design[2] and strongly challenges contemporary practice, the so-called architectural practice of the digital age.[3]
Architectural geometry is influenced by following fields: differential geometry, topology, fractal geometry, and cellular automata.
Topics include:
- freeform curves and surfaces creation
- developable surfaces
- discretisation
- generative design
- digital prototyping and manufacturing
