The New Mathematics of Architecture

In the era of digital design and manufacturing, architects can experiment with and apply mathematical concepts to built structures as never before. 

This in-depth survey of forty-six international projects offers a thorough overview of the most exciting manifestations of these new processes through illustrations, lucid texts, hands-on experience and constructed projects. The result is a rich compendium of the thinking and building behind today’s most exciting architecture.
