Description: As they are commonly understood architecture and mathematics seem to have few obvious connections, but despite the apparent differences, the distance between the profession of architecture and the discipline of mathematics, and between an object (of design) and a subject (of study) is far less than many would assume. In order to make sense of the contemporary view which considers architecture and mathematics as dissimilar pursuits, the authors trace a brief history of the growth of disciplines and professions over time in order to show how very closely connected the two were. The authors, editors of the present publication, then go on to introduce the 47 chapters that comprise vol. I.
