Springer-Verlag/Vienna. — 243 p. — ISBN 978-3-7091-0308-1.Geometry lies at the core of the architectural design process. It is omnipresent, from the initial form-finding to the final construction. Modern geometric computing provides a variety of tools for the efficient design, analysis, and manufacturing of complex shapes. On the one hand this opens up new horizons for architecture. On the other hand, the architectural context also poses new problems to geometry. Around these problems the research area of architectural geometry is emerging,situated at the border of applied geometry and architecture.
