This third book in the Nexus series offers papers that further broaden the horizons of studies in architecture and mathematics. One kind of analysis offered here, the geometrical analysis of an existing architectural monument, is treated in a different light, that is, with as much of an emphasis on methodology as on the particular results. These geometric approaches illustrate the usefulness of a rigorous mathematical approach to the study of architecture. A different kind of approach is offered by the examination of contemporary architecture through linear algebra. Nexus III: Architecture and Mathematics also includes discussions of the architecture of non-European cultures: Arabic, Inkan and Ottoman. Other contributions consider the symbolic value of perspective in painted representations of architecture, proportions in the architecture of Palladio and Wright, the issue of shape in the architecture of Le Corbusier.
