Architectural geometry

Architectural geometry

Architectural geometry is an area of research which combines applied geometry and architecture, [cite book|author=H. Pottmann, A. Asperl, M. Hofer and A. Kilian|title= [http://www.architecturalgeometry.at Architectural Geometry] |publisher=Bentley Institute Press|year=2007|isbn=978-1-934493-04-5] which looks at the design, analysis and manufacture processes. It strongly challenges contemporary practice, the so-called architectural practice of the digital age. [cite book|author=Branko Kolarevic|title=Architecture in the Digital Age|publisher=Taylor & Francis|year=2003|isbn=9780415278201]

Architectural geometry is influenced by following fields: differential geometry, topology, fractal geometry, cellular automata...

Actual topics:
* Freeform curves an surfaces creation
* Developable surfaces
* Discretisation
* Generative design
* Digital prototyping and manufacturing
