Architecture and mathematics from antiquity to the future.. Volume II,. The 1500s to the future
Architecture and mathematics from antiquity to the future.Volume II,The 1500s to the future[electronic resource] /1500s to the futureedited by Kim Williams, Michael J. Ostwald. - Cham :Springer International Publishing :2015. - xix, 690 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm.

Part VII: Theories of Representation -- Part VIII: From 1600 AD to 1900 AD -- Part IX: 1900–2000 -- Part X: Contemporary Approaches to Design and Analysis -- Part XI: Theories and Applications of Computer Sciences -- Index -- Acknowledgements.

The aim of this collection of essays is to present a broad portrait of the ways in which two seemingly different disciplines are interconnected. The diversity and varied texture of the essays richly illustrates the affinity between architecture and mathematics. As the almost 100 papers presented in this two-volume publication show, every age and every culture has relied on principles of mathematics incorporated in their works of architecture to imbue their built environment with meaning and order. Included are discussions of geometry, proportional systems, linear algebra, periodic and aperiodic tilings, fractals, perspective, computer science and mechanics. Western architecture of every period is examined: Egyptian, Roman, Medieval, Renaissance, Baroque, Enlightenment, twentieth-century and beyond, as is the architecture of Turkey, China, India, Japan, Australia and Islam. The mathematical nature of the architecture of Leon Battista Alberti, Andrea Palladio and Frank Lloyd Wright is examined, and the philosophical background behind Renaissance architecture is explored. Contributors come from a wide range of disciplines and cultural backgrounds: architects, mathematicians, historians, theoreticians, scientists and educators from the world over. Architecture may be seen and understood in a new light, by professionals as well as non-professionals.
