Parametric Geometry of Curves and Surfaces: Architectural Form-Finding
English | 2021 | ISBN: 3030813169 | 690 Pages | EPUB | 56 MB
Geometric elements in architecture respond to practical, physical and aesthetic needs. Proper understanding of the mathematics underlying the geometry provides control over the construction. This book relates the classical mathematical theory of parametrized curves and surfaces to multiple applications in architecture. The presentation is mathematically complete with numerous figures and animations illustrating the theory, and special attention is given to some of the recent trends in the field. Solved exercises are provided to see the theory in practice.
