Stephen T . Hyde Contemporary Geometry for the Built Design ?
نویسنده
چکیده
I explore the terrain that lies between architecture and geometry, from the perspective of a structural scientist with no professional architectural expertise. The divide between these disciplines perhaps stems from an ancient dichotomy between the art versus engineering schools of architecture, fertilised by the current dogma that art and science can never meet. Architects stand to gain much from study of the spectacular advances in geometry in recent decades, such as the growing understanding of cellular patterns in space, tiles, nets and curved surfaces. Some examples of those advances are discussed in detail. I conclude that both architecture and geometry would benefit from a renewed mutual interest.

متن کاملThe effect of children’s gender on the outdoor design of kindergartens and preschools based on Islamic thought
Gender has a key role in Islamic thought and considers it as an aspect should be trained. Now a days in light of psychological and social studies, there are more information about gender differences. These differences influence education and training via “gender identity” and “sex-typing”. So it’s essential to consider gender differences in out door open spaces design. The goal of this study co...
متن کاملThe impact of digital architecture on cityscape
Abstract Digital architecture, as a proceeding architectural style, has caused fundamental evolutions in architectural design and building appearance via applying complex geometries and topologies. Computers and digital tools have truly altered the design process and architectural conception facilitating production of new eye catching forms. Avant-garde architectural forms have emerged from the...
