Mathematics as the Vital Force of Architecture

David-Artman, Anat

Abstract. This article shows that mathematics serves as a vital force in architecture. By comparing the characteristics that Hans Dreisch attributes to the vital force with the characteristics of mathematical proportions in architecture, this paper demonstrates that both can be seen as principles of individuation, both can be the source of equipotentiality, and both are manifested in harmony.
