A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
Is architecture heading for a ‘procedural mathematic cul‐de‐sac’? Are architects just too ready to settle for the ‘well‐defined certainty of parametricism’, having got stuck on a mathematics of pattern? Will McLean, Senior Lecturer at the University of Westminster, urges designers to open themselves up to the wider delights of mathematics and the full range of possibilities that the discipline has to offer.
