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.
