Every age and every culture has relied on the incorporation of
mathematics in their works of architecture to imbue the built
environment with meaning and order. Mathematics is also central to
the production of architecture, to its methods of measurement,
fabrication and analysis. This two-volume edited collection
presents a detailed portrait of the ways in which two seemingly
different disciplines are interconnected. Over almost 100 chapters
it illustrates and examines the relationship between architecture
and mathematics. Contributors of these chapters come from a wide
range of disciplines and backgrounds: architects, mathematicians,
historians, theoreticians, scientists and educators. Through this
work, architecture may be seen and understood in a new light, by
professionals as well as non-professionals.
Volume II covers architecture from the Late Renaissance era,
through Baroque, Ottoman, Enlightenment, Modern and contemporary
styles and approaches. Key figures covered in this volume include
Palladio, Michelangelo, Borromini, Sinan, Wren, Wright, Le
Corbusier, Breuer, Niemeyer and Kahn. Mathematical themes which are
considered include linear algebra, tiling and fractals and the
geographic span of the volume s content includes works in the
United States of America and Australia, in addition to those in
Europe and Asia."
