CAAD Practice: Architecture and Mathematics
Last Updated: 2026-02-05 15:36:02
Abstract
"Architecture and Mathematics" introduces an architectural approach to dealing with theorems. Cities and buildings are miniatures of the world. Mathematical theorems contain virtual views of the whole world. They are less of a world model than a virtual world view, against the background of which a specific place can be qualified communicatively.
Objective
The lecture teaches fundamental figures of thought in mathematics, as an uncorrupted 'way' (methodology) to be able to open up the roles of nature, space, time and intellect through all times and cultures.

"Architecture and Mathematics" provides an introduction to architectonics in dealing with theorems. Cities and buildings are miniatures of the world. Mathematical theorems contain virtual views of the whole world. They are less a world model than a virtual world view, against the background of which a specific place can be qualified communicatively. The lecture teaches fundamental figures of thought in mathematics, as an uncorrupted 'way' (methodology) to be able to open up the roles of nature, space, time and intellect through all times and cultures. prof.dr.l.hovestadt prof.dr.e.zafiris
