New in paperback, The New Mathematics of Architecture is a survey
of the most advanced contemporary architectural projects in the
world that utilize new applications of mathematics for the digital
age. From chaos to topology, from optimization to datascapes,
architects have been designing - and constructing - complex,
sublime and beautiful buildings that change the way we perceive
major structures. This one-of-a-kind survey of 46 international
projects, compiled and written by leading experts on architectural
mathematics, offers a thorough overview of how recent developments
in maths and physics are being applied to architecture through
accessible illustrations, lucid text and hands-on experience. Case
studies are presented in detail with a project profile, and include
Norman Foster's British Museum roof and Gehry Partners' Disney
Concert Hall, as well as projects by such renowned architects as
Minifie Nixon, Kohn Pedersen Fox and Daniel Libeskind. At a time
when architects have fewer opportunities to build and more time to
consider the future of architecture, this carefully researched book
offers students and practitioners new ways of thinking about the
future of designing and building. `Vital to the future of
architectural dialect ... an awesome turn-on' - Architects' Journal
`Inside the subdued cover of this modestly sized book you will find
analysis, description and beautiful photographs ... if architecture
is like frozen music then this is a big mash-up of Prog Rock and
Stockhausen. And that cannot be a bad thing' - RIAS Quarterly
