Introduction to 'Architectural Geometry': Through Analysis of Architecture Made of Square Plan

摘要

The aim of study was to clarify a character of "Architectural geometry" through analysis of contemporary architecture made of square plan. Results could be summarized in the following statements, 1．Architectural geometry is defined as the three stratums: compositional geometry, projective geometry and signified geometry (non-Euclidean geometry). 2．Architectural geometry is characterized by "Scale". 3．Examining the typological structure of the morphological composition of the contemporary architecture made of square plan by using multivariate analysis of compositional elements. 4．Discovery of latent structures that define five types; a. Symmetry and Asymmetry of the compositional elements. b. Unity and Plurality of the compositional elements. 5．Examining of character of types and transformation of the morphological composition with scaling.
