This textbook provides a thorough introduction to the differential
geometry of parametrized curves and surfaces, along with a wealth of
applications to specific architectural elements. Geometric elements in
architecture respond to practical, physical and aesthetic needs.
Proper understanding of the mathematics underlying the geometry
provides control over the construction. This book relates the
classical mathematical theory of parametrized curves and surfaces to
multiple applications in architecture. The presentation is
mathematically complete with numerous figures and animations
illustrating the theory, and special attention is given to some of the
recent trends in the field. Solved exercises are provided to see the
theory in practice. Intended as a textbook for lecture
courses, Parametric Geometry of Curves and Surfaces is suitable for
mathematically-inclined students in engineering, architecture and
related fields, and can also serve as a textbook for traditional
differential geometry courses to mathematics students. Researchers
interested in the mathematics of architecture or computer-aided design
will also value its combination of precise mathematics and
architectural examples.
