Description

Explore the deep connection between mathematical theory and architectural practice in this scholarly volume from Springer. Geometrical Objects: Architecture and the Mathematical Sciences 1400-1800 examines how design and construction functioned within the context of contemporary mathematical knowledge during the pre-modern and early modern eras. This book uses an interdisciplinary approach to bridge the gap between architectural history and the history of science. It specifically looks at how mathematical practice contributed to the scientific revolution. By studying the social distinctions and the specific forms of mathematical application used during this period, readers gain a clearer understanding of how geometry shaped the built environment. This text is a valuable resource for scholars and students interested in the history of science, architectural theory, and the evolution of mathematical application in design. It provides a necessary framework for contextualizing historical construction methods through the lens of the mathematical sciences.
