Abstract

Architectural production relies on form that can be drawn, quantified, and analysed through geometry. The incorporation of calculus-based form in the 1990s and the more recent incorporation of physics simulation has pushed the edge of formal and mathematical analysis, as well as of architectural production. Yet, mathematics remains largely invisible in the current landscape – rarely addressed in discourse and hidden behind software interfaces in daily practice. As Antoine Picon has noted, architecture has unprecedented access to mathematical objects, while at the same time remaining indifferent to its relation to mathematics.

具有能动性的几何:重新审视形式的数学

建筑生产依赖于可以通过几何绘制、量化和分析的形式。20世纪90年代以微积分为基础的形式的结合以及最近的物理模拟的结合，推动了形式和数学分析以及建筑生产的边缘。然而，在当前的环境中，数学在很大程度上仍然是不可见的——很少在话语中被提及，并且在日常实践中隐藏在软件界面后面。正如Antoine Picon所指出的，建筑前所未有地接近数学对象，同时对其与数学的关系漠不关心。

期刊介绍： Arq publishes cutting-edge work covering all aspects of architectural endeavour. Contents include building design, urbanism, history, theory, environmental design, construction, materials, information technology, and practice. Other features include interviews, occasional reports, lively letters pages, book reviews and an end feature, Insight. Reviews of significant buildings are published at length and in a detail matched today by few other architectural journals. Elegantly designed, inspirational and often provocative, arq is essential reading for practitioners in industry and consultancy as well as for academic researchers.
