Advances in architectural geometry 2014
This book contains 24 technical papers presented at the fourth edition of the Advances in Architectural Geometry conference, AAG 2014, held in London, England, in September 2014. It offers engineers, mathematicians, designers and contractors information on the design, analysis and the efficiency. manufacturing complex forms, which will help open new horizons for architecture. The book examines the geometric aspects involved in architectural design, from initial conception to final fabrication. It focuses on four key themes: applied geometry, architecture, computational design and also practice in the form of case studies. In addition, the book also presents algorithms, proposed implementation, experimental results, and illustrations. In general, the book presents both theoretical and practical works linked to new geometric developments in architecture. It brings together the various components of contemporary architectural trends that push the building envelope towards a free form to respond to today's multiple design challenges. With its introduction of novel algorithms and computational tools, this book will be an ideal resource for both newcomers to the field and advanced practitioners
