Architectural geometry is an area of research which combines applied geometry and architecture,[1] which looks at the design, analysis and manufacture processes. It lies at the core of architectural design[2] and strongly challenges contemporary practice, the so-called architectural practice of the digital age.[3]
Architectural geometry is influenced by following fields: differential geometry, topology, fractal geometry, and cellular automata.

Topics include:
