Architectural geometry

From HandWiki - Reading time: 2 min

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.

polyhedral approximation of a cyclide-offset.

Topics include:

  • freeform curves and surfaces creation
  • developable surfaces
  • discretisation
  • generative design
  • digital prototyping and manufacturing
