MTS 614E - Geometry in Architectural Design

Course Objectives

1. To develop the ability to question the reciprocal relationship between geometry and architecture in the contexts of history, theory, and practice.
2. To discuss the representability and certainty of the architectural object in relation to analytical-synthetic distinction in the geometry
3. To introduce concepts of geometry to conceive new understandings of form and space in architecture.

Course Description

Architectural design and geometry; foundations of geometrical knowledge and affordances of measurement, analytical and synthetical distintion in the ontology of geometry, projection in the context of representation and transformation of architectural object, the subjective basis of projection, mathematical models and related concepts for representation of space, non-metric concepts of space, topology, hierarchy, and connectivity, computability of geometry and field theory.
