The Common Evolution of Geometry and Architecture From a Geodetic Point of View

Abstract

ABSTRACT:Throughout history the link between geometry and architecture has been strong and while architects have used mathematics to construct their buildings, geometry has always been the essential tool allowing them to choose spatial shapes which are aesthetically appropriate. Sometimes it is geometry which drives architectural choices, but at other times it is architectural innovation which facilitates the emergence of new ideas in geometry. Among the best known types of geometry (Euclidean, projective, analytical, Topology, descriptive, fractal,…) those most frequently employed in architectural design are:The non-Euclidean geometries. Entire architectural periods are linked to specific types of geometry. Euclidean geometry, for example, was the basis for architectural styles from Antiquity through to the Romanesque period. Perspective and Projective geometry, for their part, were important from the Gothic period through the Renaissance and into the Baroque and Neo-classical eras, while non-Euclidean geometries characterize modern architecture.

Architectural design game: A serious game approach to promote teaching and learning using multimodal interfaces

“…The specific characteristic of his works is the avoidance of Euclidean forms, geometric shapes, and perspective. It seems that unconventional and asymmetric shapes are the major priority for him (Bellone et al, 2017 ). Gehry creates a new architectural world that is committed to freedom of speech.…”

Mathematics Tools and its Efficiency on the Building’s Environmental Performance

“…By starting with geometry, it's roots could be seen in Egyptian, Babylonian, and Hindu old civilizations [5]. As a result, geometry's types could represent entire periods in architecture as; Euclidean geometry from Antiquity to the Romanesque period, Perspective and Projective geometry from the Gothic and Renaissance period to the Neo-classical eras, and non-Euclidean geometries for modern architecture [6].…”
